Kodaly Inspired Classroom: Getting Ready for the First Day of School {Music Rules} - 0 views

  • I am going into my fourth year teaching and my third year at my current school. I feel like each year I do a better job of starting the school year off the right way.
    • cheyroseb
       
      I started this year so underprepared I am hopeful that next year will be a million times better.
  • M- Make good choices U- Use kind words S- Show Respect (to classmates, teacher, and the music) I- Involve yourself C- Care for our room and instruments
    • cheyroseb
       
      LOVE THIS I am always telling my students to make good choices.
  • I think that will be interesting to talk with the kids about on the first day.
    • cheyroseb
       
      Not saying "this song is bad" but "I don't like this song because it's too slow/quiet, etc.)

Kodaly Inspired Classroom: Back to School {First Day Activities} - 0 views

  • "Down, Down Baby" is from the Amidons. SO FUN! Apparently this is a favorite, because it's being sung on the bus!
    • cheyroseb
       
      This would also be a fun circle game to play at the end of class if you find yourself with a little time left over.
  • Mamalama: I learned this in Level 3, and we take it a bit faster than in this video, but it is SO FUN! I even had a student get the last part after just a few listenings. CRAZY!
    • cheyroseb
       
      I like this one as an elementary vocal warm up as well.

Ace the Interview: questions to ask | Organized Chaos - 0 views

  • I think it is commonly understood that it's important to do your research on the district/school/job for which you're applying before you go into the interview at all. The question time at the end is where your preparation, or lack thereof, can become most apparent! You don't want to ask a question that can easily be answered through an internet search.
    • cheyroseb
       
      Very important.
  • This is a great opportunity to showcase your knowledge about different teaching methodologies (like Orff, Kodaly, MLT etc) even if the interviewers don't know what you're asking!
    • cheyroseb
       
      Certainly helps with curriculum planning. Are you allowed to bring a notepad in the interview room to write down questions/answers?
  • make sure to ask about class length, frequency, and whether it is year-long or only part of the year!
    • cheyroseb
       
      Good to know!
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • I like this question better than "what will my schedule be like?" because it suggests that you're wanting to know how much time you'll have with each class to cover everything, rather than wondering what your workload will be like.
    • cheyroseb
       
      Such a good way to phrase this!
  • What curricular / professional development resources and equipment / space can I expect to have available to me in this position?
    • cheyroseb
       
      Things I wish I knew going into this job-- I would have stayed at the underpaying school.
  • What are the extracurricular/ performance expectations?
    • cheyroseb
       
      It would also help to know what your students are capable of bringing to the table. My students now can't stay after school, so everything is during prep time.
  •  
    Great questions to ask in an interview for a music teacher position.

Music Teacher Job Search: advice from administrators | Organized Chaos - 0 views

  • Tailor your philosophy of education to the specific job you're applying for-
    • cheyroseb
       
      Interesting, I didn't think to adjust my philosophy of education.
  • an elementary general music class vs a high school band job.
    • cheyroseb
       
      That clears it up
  • This is particularly for general music teachers, as truly assessing all of the hundreds of students on all of the many areas general music covers can be a particular challenge.
    • cheyroseb
       
      I have a magic chart and a magic point system

  • If you current/ former students were asked to describe your teaching style, what adjectives would they use?
    • cheyroseb
       
      Fun, but strict. Caring
  • there needs to be some enthusiasm and energy to accompany your knowledge.
    • cheyroseb
       
      Good, I have plenty of it!
  • I'm looking for a certain level of organization that is necessary for effective teaching. I'm looking for organization and thoughtfulness in your answers that shows me a certain deliberateness to organize/ plan/ reflect to go along with your passion and creativity.
    • cheyroseb
       
      I've never been so glad to be as organized as I am, as I am right now.
  • Ask good questions in the interview yourself!
    • cheyroseb
       
      What are you looking for your music teacher to bring to the team? Is there a choir in place? Could it be arranged? How would you feel about having a mid-year musical/play?

9 Exciting Name Activities that Your Kids will Love - PRIMARILY MUSIC - 0 views

  • 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.
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • 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.
  • There is a Class
    • cheyroseb
       
      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.

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

    • cheyroseb
       
      Every minute counts!
    • cheyroseb
       
      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!
  • ...6 more annotations...
    • cheyroseb
       
      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.
    • cheyroseb
       
      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.
    • cheyroseb
       
      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.
    • cheyroseb
       
      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.)

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.
