For twenty years I had the privilege of teaching elementary music. What fun it was! I am posting some of my favorite musical activities here for anyone to use. If you are an elementary music teacher you may find some of them helpful. If you are home schooling, you will be able to teach these lessons to your own children. Feel free to try anything you want to. I feel confident that you will have a wonderful time if you do.
WHAT DO WE TEACH?
As children come to learn more and more about how music is put together, they will begin to have new ears to hear any music. They add critical thinking skills to their musical experiences and will enjoy many kinds of music. They also come to understand and love music as they have hands on experiences creating their own music. They can have that experience through private lessons or by just doing some of the fun lessons that I will share.
The lessons will center on the Elements of Music: Beat, Rhythm, Style, Melody, Expression, Form, Timbre, Harmony, and Texture. You can watch as children become confidant at discussing these elements and hearing them in the music they listen to each day. They will enjoy using these elements to create their own music.

Just to let you know, I am no longer monitoring this blog but will leave the lessons here for those who would like to use them.
