  • Jump in, Jump Out
    • cheyroseb
       
      I like this for older grades (4-5). They'll have more patience to wait for the circle to come all the way around.
  • Bee Bee Bumblebee, Can You Sing Your Name for Me
    • cheyroseb
       
      I love this as a first day of music activity for Kindergarten
  • Say Your Name
    • cheyroseb
       
      This game would also work for a composer or instrument unit. Students could have cards or nametags with the picture on the front and use that instead of their name.

  • Up the Ladder
    • cheyroseb
       
      This seems like a really fun game for 2nd and 3rd grade :) Older grades could even incorporate their own body percussion associated with their name.

      LOVE THIS WOW
  • Who’s that Tapping At my Window
    • cheyroseb
       
      I would use this for 1st grade. It's simple enough to teach, but complex enough to assess where they are with certain concepts.

    An excellent set of first day of music activities to help teachers learn names and establish classroom routine.

Introducing Do Re Mi - Fun Music Theory - 0 views

  • It is best to introduce the sol-fa names by learning to recognise the intervals in familiar nursery songs.
    • cheyroseb
       
      Good to think about when building elementary curriculum and lessons.
  • 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.”
    • cheyroseb
       
      m2 Jaws M2 Happy Birthday m3 Greensleeves M3 Kumbaya P4 here Comes the Bride TT Maria P5 Twinkle Twinkle m6 We are Young M6 NBC m7 Star Trek M7 Take me on P8 Somewhere Over the Rainbow
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • When So and Mi are familiar, you can introduce La (A).
    • cheyroseb
       
      Good to have a step-by-step (pun intended) for introducing little ones to solfedge.
  • Next you can introduce both Dos, high Do and low Do or bottom C and top C.
    • cheyroseb
       
      step 3
  • A very good song for teaching both Dos is The Balloon Song, which can be sung with real balloons and is always very popular! 
    • cheyroseb
       
      Make lesson plan around this later.
  • 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.
    • cheyroseb
       
      An old professor told me fixed Do was helpful for producing musicians with perfect pitch, however that is not my goal when teaching solfege.
  • 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.
    • cheyroseb
       
      Moveable Do is helpful for sight-reading and pitch relation within scales.
  • 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.
    • cheyroseb
       
      Could put every song in the same key for a while before explaining moveable do.
  •  
    A helpful guide for integrating and teaching solfege in the elementary school music classroom.

WynnLiterature - Home - 0 views

  •  
    Wynn Literature is a site I found a few years ago as I was looking for music for my high school Intermediate Band to play for the Georgia Music Educators Association's Large Group Performance Evaluation (concert festival). The band I had one year was unprepared to play most Grade 4 Literature and I needed help choosing Grade 2 or 3 pieces. Wynn created this list of compositions that are on the GMEA LGPE required list. It is important to double check the most current LGPE list as the list is updated yearly. The compositions are written by composers whose works have been deemed to be "Contemporary Concert Band Standards" as they have the best mix of challenging the students as well as entertaining. Some of the composers include James Swearingen, Quincy Hilliard Robert W. Smith, David R. Holsinger, and James Curnow just to name a few. The site has changed a lot since I originally found it. You were able to click on the individual compositions to get more information about the piece such as key signature, meter, performance ranges for most of the instruments, technical issues that may occur (difficult rhythms or harmonies), background on the composer and historical perspective of the composition. Since the site's links do not work anymore, WynnLiterature is a great starting point to search for literature to play at the middle school level as well as the lower/developmental bands in high school.
