      I love elementary music for this reason-- lesson activities are themed and have fun games attached to them!
  • ou definitely don’t want them just sitting down waiting for the game to end!

      This connects to the article I annotated about teaching solfege :)
  • This song is a perfect song to teach and reinforce those rhythms in the lower grades (K-2)
  • Acka Backa is made up of so, la, and mi so if you are looking for a song to teach those pitches this is it!
  • Whoever is out goes to the center of the circle and selects one of the four voices. Whatever voice he or she selects is how we will perform the song the next round.

      I like that this version keeps them involved in the game even after they get "out"
  • Use Acka Backa to reinforce steady beat with your little ones. You can have them clap the beat, play rhythm sticks or pass around a ball or bean bag on the beat.

      I like the variety of options presented here-- some classes will be able to handle certain options better than others will.
  • Because they have learned Acka Backa in Kindergarten it’s a great way to bring it back when you’re teaching meter and have them feel the beat. I teach Acka Backa in 2/4 meter but it can also be used to teach 4/4.

      I think it would be a great example to show older classes *why* it is in 2/4 compared to 4/4 (beat stresses, important words, etc.)

    Many times students can perform music better if they can relate and truly understand the message in the music. Songfacts website is an efficient place to start to acquire such knowledge.

    This site is a great resource to help students get into the minds of their favorite pop artists. Students often find it easier to connect to pop tunes than to classical music. This site provides a list of different pop tunes/artists along with descriptions about those pieces and artists. This helps students realize the thought behind creating music, which they can then transfer to their school music class. This site also includes blogs about songwriter interviews, quizzes, and song facts to name a few. The featured songs fall into the category "daily top ten" or "weekyl top ten," keeping the songs up-to-date and easy for young students to recognize/connect with.
  • Michael Dove on 27 May 17
     
    This website is a great resource for discovering the stories behind popular songs. The list of songs seem to be extensive and include pieces that would be familiar to students. This resource could help create a relevant curriculum that speaks to the non-traditional music student's interests and their music experience.
