Pool noodle rhythms

1 comment

Today I'm once again linking up with Tracy King/ The Bulletin Board Lady at mrskingrocks.blogspot.com to write about a summer project: pool noodle rhythms! My summer project is actually inspired by the one and only Tracy King! I found this awesome blog post about  pool noodle rhythms  on her blog and decided I had to try it out.  There are so many reasons I think her idea is fabulous, but to list a few: It's a GREAT activity for those tactile learners! It's a wonderful way to show length of rhythms. It's a great way to practice meter/ time signature. It's a brilliant way to do gr…

Musical Road Trip: Rhythm

1 comment

Hi everyone! I'm excited to be the first stop on a blog hop with other music teachers, called "Musical Road Trip"! The idea of a blog hop is that each stop will be about a different musical topic. The first stop will be with me, in Ohio, about rhythm! If you are a blogger and/or TpT seller, make sure to read the directions at the end of the post to link up a blog post and/or a rhythmic product for sale! Rhythm is such an expansive topic. I've blogged many times about different aspects of rhythm, but today I thought I'd blog about different ways to approach reviewing and pra…

Solfa Cubes

This week I am blogging about solfa cubes. I think I learned this from Joan Litman, my amazing Level III Kodaly instructor at Capital University....but I don't remember for sure. (And I just found out about thi…

All About the Books

No comments

Hi everyone! So I've had a few of you request lyrics for a video I recently posted to my Facebook page. I figured I'd post it here so that everyone can read! Every year, my principal asks me to put together a skit for the end of the year, to either perform live at the end-of-the-year assembly, or record and show to the students and parents. The purpose of the skit is to promote reading throughout the summer. I had several teachers request that we perform "All about the books," based on Meghan Trainor's "All about the bass." I found this skit recorded by the Nashvi…

Five Favorite Pins of June

1 comment

Hi everyone! Today I'd like to bring my linky party, "Five favorite pins," back for the month of June! If you are a blogger, feel free to link up. Just see the directions at the end of this post. #1: Folk music anchor chart Being a Kodaly-inspired teacher, I use folk music ALL THE TIME. So I love the idea of making an anchor chart all about folk music! Sometimes, when a discussion about folk music is not had, kids end up thinking that I make up all of the songs, which is really funny and endearing but of course not true. We want our kids to know all about folk music, and what a grea…
