    Practice and assessment worksheets for Grades Kinder-5th music! I created these resources to help elementary music teachers organize and teach music vocabulary and concepts in a fun way.

    These resources work as stand-alone tools or curriculum add-ons, ideal for assessments. Each grade level has vocabulary words with definitions tailored for reading levels. The resource includes definitions, word searches, and vocabulary matching—perfect for early learners and up! Here are some resources and steps for launching a new choir or if you need new ways to organize it.

  • Let's Organize the Recorders in the Elementary Music Room

    Let's Organize the Recorders in the Elementary Music Room
    Aug 17 2023

    Teaching recorders in the elementary music classroom can be a challenge. In my "How do I use this resource" and video I provide detailed ideas about organizing the instruments and suggestions for management and curriculum. I usually teach recorders at the 4th and 5th-grade levels. Once all the instruments are ready, materials organized, and systems in place, the students enjoy playing the recorder. It is a great instrument to get students prepared for band or other instruments. ===========================================

    When setting up keyboards for students in the elementary music classroom, it's important to plan ahead for space. Ensuring that each student has enough room to comfortably play their instrument is crucial for their success. By arranging the keyboards in a way that maximizes space and minimizes clutter, you can create an environment that is both functional and conducive to learning. This will help your students to focus on their music and make the most of their time in class. So take the time to plan ahead and create a classroom that is both efficient and enjoyable for everyone involved.
