Kodaly Inspired Classroom - 0 views

  • but this actually took about 25 minutes with both of my classes.
    • cheyroseb
       
      Someone else's trial is my preparation
  • 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. 
    • cheyroseb
       
      Builds anticipation :)
  • 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. 
    • cheyroseb
       
      Provides easy access
  • ...11 more annotations...
  • 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.
    • cheyroseb
       
      Very smart idea.
  • played" each center one or two turns
    • cheyroseb
       
      Good for preparation
  • 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.
    • cheyroseb
       
      Helps reinforce expectations for each center
  • 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.
    • cheyroseb
       
      An ounce of preparation is worth a pound of cure.
  • they were all in the right order.
    • cheyroseb
       
      If the classroom teacher is aware of expectations, they can help support and enforce them
  • Do you have other ideas that I haven't thought of? Share below!
    • cheyroseb
       
      It would be good to have centers for each grade, or kits within center stations for each grade-- color coded
  • 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.
    • cheyroseb
       
      We used to do a game like this for theatre. I would love to use this as a beginning of the year activity for assessment, or a way to practice certain parts for a concert.
  • 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.
    • cheyroseb
       
      I like the idea of using cue cards with simple rhythmic ostinatos to accompany a cd track. You could introduce the ostinatos before the activity and practice by switching between cards. Once the kids feel comfortable, play the song and use the cue cards.
  • 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.
    • cheyroseb
       
      Would be awesome to use with 4/5th grade and disney songs.
  • Then students work to find the flashcards they need to match the rhythms of that song.
    • cheyroseb
       
      Could have students work in teams for a prize.
  • I Have, Who Has game cards
    • cheyroseb
       
      I LOVE i have/who has. It's a great way to reinforce aural skills and ensure that your students are paying attention

Musical Instruments from Around the World - YouTube - 0 views

  •  
    This is a youtube video made for 3rd graders about music from around the world. I think it would be really easy to have kids make videos like this themselves, so I'm posting it more as an idea to be replicated than to actually use. I think some of the information is slightly inaccurate, but the idea is fantastic

      As a composer and arranger I often find that I often have ideas at inconvenient times - driving, some place where staff paper is not available.  This would seem to offer a quick way to record the idea and preserve that moment of inspiration for later development.
