Quaver has a large amount of lessons available for teaching from PreK-8th grade. It is probably the most complete music teaching software resource I have found. This could be used in any general music class as well as ensembles. It is much more interactive than a textbook and the interface changes as the grade level increases so that it remains engaging for the age group.

Resource for the University of Florida Masters Program. This interactive program allows teachers to more effectively reach students through games, movement, song, and dance.

but this actually took about 25 minutes with both of my classes.

I said that we would be doing something kind of new in music the next few times we have class so I wanted to share with them about it today so that we could spend all of our time in centers the next two times.
-
nstead of having all of the centers spread out around the perimeter of the room, which is where I put them when we were actually doing centers, I lined up all my centers at the front of the room under the board.

I emailed the list to their teacher and asked their teacher to line them up in that order (so the four students in group 1 are first, followed by group 2 and so on....) the next time they came to music.

played" each center one or two turns
-
On my computer, I had the zip file that contained all of the PDFs for each file pulled up so that as I was going through them with the whole group, if I wanted them to be able to see something better, I could show them the PDF version instead of the tiny cards I was holding for some of the centers.
-
I had directions for each center posted at each center in case they forgot or were absent when we went over the centers, but there seemed to be no issues with students knowing what to do at each center.
-
they were all in the right order.

Do you have other ideas that I haven't thought of? Share below!

This is a really fun practice game for upper elementary and middle school! I also love this game for older beginners because it is an easy way to take those easy ta and titi rhythms and really make a more challenging game.
-
This could be done as an ostinato pattern that is repeated, or you could rotate through a set of cards for the students to play.
-
Use rhythm flashcards to create a song that the students know well. Have the students clap and read the rhythms and see if they can figure out the mystery song.
-
Then students work to find the flashcards they need to match the rhythms of that song.

It is best to introduce the sol-fa names by learning to recognise the intervals in familiar nursery songs.
-
It is best to introduce the sol-fa names by learning to recognise the intervals in familiar nursery songs.
-
Start by teaching your little one So-Mi, which in the scale of C is G and E and sounds like “cuckoo” or “see-saw.”
- ...6 more annotations...
-
When So and Mi are familiar, you can introduce La (A).
-
Next you can introduce both Dos, high Do and low Do or bottom C and top C.
-
A very good song for teaching both Dos is The Balloon Song, which can be sung with real balloons and is always very popular!
-
Fixed Do ( used in a lot of the European countries ) where they actually use the sol-fa note names to identify notes rather than letter names (C-D-E etc.) So this means the note names remain the same regardless of the key that is being played.
-
Movable Do where Do is always the tonic. For example, in C major, C is do; in D major, D is do; in E-flat minor, E-flat is do, and so on. And the sol-fa syllables always stay the same when going from one key to the next regardless if there are sharps or flats.
-
The moveable method gets too complex for younger children, so I tend to use the fixed Do method, but just wanted to clarify the difference here.

7 Effective Ways to Use Acka Backa in the Music Classroom - PRIMARILY MUSIC - 0 views

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.
-
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.
-
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.
