We celebrate Lunar New Year and love this special and festive time of year. </p><p>This year is the year of the dragon! My amazing friend, Melanie Kang, recently published her book, Lions, Lanterns, and Ribbons with Beatin' Path Publications. It is a delightful book and makes Chinese and Mandarin-language songs accessible, playful, and purposeful. I was honored to be her editor on the project. Click on the picture to check out the book - available in print or as a download-able e-book! </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://beatinpathpublications.com/MK/home.html" style="margin-left: 1em;

The speech at the beginning of Version 1 is something I created with my students. </p><p>Click<a href="https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/12qA_kMSaDXmcBRjnmFtLK087ye5xdtiaX133gUctrCA/edit?usp=sharing"> here</a> for the Google Slides. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi421-PGiDaA-E2OsZ_HJXyGLHQ-RC4HRNdLvyrPLs1S3jPXU15t6dxjaRw_7Jseo1DIGvMcUkgu2FXuVufk2ZfirgQZFV4DRpwfct1_-9_NhmDMAnKdPLhu1CJueRBLLYEhR_mGe8VndkcfOxpXl29m1IM5zrFwovA4E5UoicYDHsQTrAXR5Zik4Ny4A/s1896/Screenshot%202024-01-04%20at%201.07.56%20PM.png" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1092" data-original-width="1896" height="368" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi421-PGiDaA-E2OsZ_HJXyGLHQ-RC4HRNdLvyrPLs1S3jPXU15t6dxjaRw_7Jseo1DIGvMcUkgu2FXuVufk2ZfirgQZFV4DRpwfct1_-9_NhmDMAnKdPLhu1CJueRBLLYEhR_mGe8VndkcfOxpXl29m1IM5zrFwovA4E5UoicYDHsQTrAXR5Zik4Ny4A/w640-h368/Screenshot%202024-01-04%20at%201.07.56%20PM.png" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7DHwgAm8YHxZaxQ70xFLz3tcJU5v9Rr3GQVdwA-ejVZKGv_RibMCEBxWRLJicaWLqf7u9WQaVuSa8-54mmDNQO42TbIyP0VNVs8CfUELYN6W0wFziXTIjvyIH3YPCXszjAcQfOLfl1ETHAHYVKazdXqgU3L03bjbFqA9ERqqWRf8nsncxvCOco3tq-g/s1896/Screenshot%202024-01-04%20at%201.07.59%20PM.png" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1092" data-original-width="1896" height="368" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7DHwgAm8YHxZaxQ70xFLz3tcJU5v9Rr3GQVdwA-ejVZKGv_RibMCEBxWRLJicaWLqf7u9WQaVuSa8-54mmDNQO42TbIyP0VNVs8CfUELYN6W0wFziXTIjvyIH3YPCXszjAcQfOLfl1ETHAHYVKazdXqgU3L03bjbFqA9ERqqWRf8nsncxvCOco3tq-g/w640-h368/Screenshot%202024-01-04%20at%201.07.59%20PM.png" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJ2Oej1zYvx9fpDwklY4T4tQ9QTVxr-jCJVqYbTWcmORoaKNwgnERPz958ez4Fqbs2FHYI9T47I0hPpi6Nr_YeEmUO6xJQQ0S98Lmr4dgVsrWCGCr8GX89RKdNep7Dc1BfLEI-EgsUaZqpX01OZtmnC039394XGOjbJtIgps7TF3GKpIi_pYz8G7UvNg/s1896/Screenshot%202024-01-04%20at%201.08.03%20PM.png" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1092" data-original-width="1896" height="368" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJ2Oej1zYvx9fpDwklY4T4tQ9QTVxr-jCJVqYbTWcmORoaKNwgnERPz958ez4Fqbs2FHYI9T47I0hPpi6Nr_YeEmUO6xJQQ0S98Lmr4dgVsrWCGCr8GX89RKdNep7Dc1BfLEI-EgsUaZqpX01OZtmnC039394XGOjbJtIgps7TF3GKpIi_pYz8G7UvNg/w640-h368/Screenshot%202024-01-04%20at%201.08.03%20PM.png" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvWSPPlo40bA999ZJBW2rLbwynCNYWJtCcvpHnxtmCdjQVA9CTahHWVJyrUPvGcmEE260jZ1wyYV7LAovLS5Xcmf4Awyfm2YsUaTw94pXcwGC1dyUx1y_9u2LkNaBIQMJ-K5rspDYLYeHf-_9ZvBQBcse5gwllo2ZHznWhbj5b6wsITZZMlZr0GDTT4w/s1896/Screenshot%202024-01-04%20at%201.08.06%20PM.png" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1092" data-original-width="1896" height="368" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvWSPPlo40bA999ZJBW2rLbwynCNYWJtCcvpHnxtmCdjQVA9CTahHWVJyrUPvGcmEE260jZ1wyYV7LAovLS5Xcmf4Awyfm2YsUaTw94pXcwGC1dyUx1y_9u2LkNaBIQMJ-K5rspDYLYeHf-_9ZvBQBcse5gwllo2ZHznWhbj5b6wsITZZMlZr0GDTT4w/w640-h368/Screenshot%202024-01-04%20at%201.08.06%20PM.png" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p><br /><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><br /><p></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6193017486541842349.post-87611871204473435082024-01-16T11:53:00.000-08:002024-01-16T11:53:04.011-08:00Bounce High, Bounce Low<p> This is one of those games that is played many ways and has a myriad of concepts to focus on.

As explained by a classroom teacher, a Center is an activity or station where students choose to go and choose how long they spend at that place. A Rotation is where all students experience the same things for the same amount of time and rotate through the various activities. </p><p>Once introduced, these games and activities are perfect to leave for a sub! </p><p>If you are on a mobile device, scroll all the way to the bottom and click, "View Web Version" and on the right you will see all the posts that are tagged with "Centers" and "Rotations".</p><p>One of my new favorites is<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Xesakesi-Silicone-Chess-Board-Interactive/dp/B09925DM22/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=19PF85RU325NS&keywords=pop+it+game+with+dice&qid=1704903553&sprefix=pop+it+game+with+dice%2Caps%2C86&sr=8-1-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&psc=1"> this pop it game with dice.</a></p><p>Someone posted this on instagram last year and it has become a new favorite. Use foam dice from Dollar Tree and write your rhythms on all sides. For me, this is a Leveled Game with Level One using quarter notes, eighth notes, and quarter rest. Level Two adds half note and Level Three adds sixteenth notes and eighth, sixteenth note combinations. </p><p>On the game itself, sit in front of the TV one night and use a Sharpie to draw quarter notes, eighth notes, and quarter rests on each "pop". I keep the dice, games, and directions in a 2-gallon ziploc bag with my other rotations and centers. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyNionkK9MeDFeRHvd2GKDOks5lSAa0MqnnWAoVEbfg-tib75tBKw_Oj1sSA5Jg81_B3GfkiFwQJ4WKgr6i3PUF0BW8_Gt6erP1aTmG8Rhm3M8tsWuhID41LNGIZdWw0HioAfZsmuXJXnbs6QXEPgNH8Lq1McEDuj-Co6SEgFDHGjz-vh3jRfsK5n49g/s822/Screenshot%202024-01-10%20at%2011.22.35%20AM.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="822" data-original-width="766" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyNionkK9MeDFeRHvd2GKDOks5lSAa0MqnnWAoVEbfg-tib75tBKw_Oj1sSA5Jg81_B3GfkiFwQJ4WKgr6i3PUF0BW8_Gt6erP1aTmG8Rhm3M8tsWuhID41LNGIZdWw0HioAfZsmuXJXnbs6QXEPgNH8Lq1McEDuj-Co6SEgFDHGjz-vh3jRfsK5n49g/w596-h640/Screenshot%202024-01-10%20at%2011.22.35%20AM.png" width="596" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p>Here are the direction cards:</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6WugMoJiR2ae5FjHjWoJuZ51jThEu3NU8PtstSbr1eznJCAuvHxArv9SbtrP3GjT3DAgGdrv2y-jfOq6h3bp78xlOKzXgaeWkMBI9d4MfDpBW9sfgZ79amT3Nu4iOckRTm4HT9yzByJqBjcApiz67XfGtYC4AqjHZ-mxHAQoG9nImOzNxTpq-XA_2_A/s1676/Screenshot%202024-01-10%20at%2011.14.19%20AM.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="756" data-original-width="1676" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6WugMoJiR2ae5FjHjWoJuZ51jThEu3NU8PtstSbr1eznJCAuvHxArv9SbtrP3GjT3DAgGdrv2y-jfOq6h3bp78xlOKzXgaeWkMBI9d4MfDpBW9sfgZ79amT3Nu4iOckRTm4HT9yzByJqBjcApiz67XfGtYC4AqjHZ-mxHAQoG9nImOzNxTpq-XA_2_A/w400-h180/Screenshot%202024-01-10%20at%2011.14.19%20AM.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmOBlD7ku0Z2dhF_fe041WgUIJwnVhqdGiSNBdZSYkv2mYKPbg57Pc9M_GEW-ZIKejtU2ihyphenhyphenshmiKAOpOMoG_59EPslbg9Ev9FOG0k3n7lCkXlmnOAzHzZ58KJ5jpfR_DmFg7ikUZKWl8Xxl91XqF8uGZk5BQQYt6XJXd7U3JRmoKGxKrC0orhvsc9qg/s1702/Screenshot%202024-01-10%20at%2011.14.30%20AM.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1050" data-original-width="1702" height="246" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmOBlD7ku0Z2dhF_fe041WgUIJwnVhqdGiSNBdZSYkv2mYKPbg57Pc9M_GEW-ZIKejtU2ihyphenhyphenshmiKAOpOMoG_59EPslbg9Ev9FOG0k3n7lCkXlmnOAzHzZ58KJ5jpfR_DmFg7ikUZKWl8Xxl91XqF8uGZk5BQQYt6XJXd7U3JRmoKGxKrC0orhvsc9qg/w400-h246/Screenshot%202024-01-10%20at%2011.14.30%20AM.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOtLkGDMswcck3gktYyRBPXhY1UU-YyH4Z9gtSU8xvRwzt6ic89qxSDhFvJIfj4qqZ9qKdkldA5csHLTEgkdMqYRipiOTpjsNvp3NOaUm5Y3sa_aSJWPkwTA-oSqBv77dlF5O9o2OrIPHZZzp3VCCcEXdPCJ4xvTH5zFU1BCGzXDXaGa0Qx3RNpZAqbw/s1702/Screenshot%202024-01-10%20at%2011.14.43%20AM.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1162" data-original-width="1702" height="272" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOtLkGDMswcck3gktYyRBPXhY1UU-YyH4Z9gtSU8xvRwzt6ic89qxSDhFvJIfj4qqZ9qKdkldA5csHLTEgkdMqYRipiOTpjsNvp3NOaUm5Y3sa_aSJWPkwTA-oSqBv77dlF5O9o2OrIPHZZzp3VCCcEXdPCJ4xvTH5zFU1BCGzXDXaGa0Qx3RNpZAqbw/w400-h272/Screenshot%202024-01-10%20at%2011.14.43%20AM.png" width="400" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>Enjoy!

text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Upon success with the meter, I moved to the melody of the piece for the students. We explored singing various patterns of solfege to get their ear in the la pentatonic scale. Eventually, we landed on the solfege patterns of the melody itself. Finally, we began exploring those patterns on the glockenspiel and other barred instruments. </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> I believe this melody would work well on recorder if your students are more proficient and need a challenge. The only caveat would be needing to play a few of the notes up or down the octave because of the soprano recorder range.</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><b style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></b></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">With the additional parts in the arrangements, students created body percussion patterns to help them learn the rhythm patterns.

We are on our way to this as we integrate the core content in my room. The ultimate goal will be to bring their own musical interests in our classroom and continue this pattern of success! If you are interested in integrating core content with your lessons, all it takes is an intentional conversation with your grade level classroom teachers to make a plan of attack! Please don’t hesitate to reach out to me as well– arts integration is a passion of mine and I’m always willing to flesh out ideas with you!</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><b style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></b></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Bio: </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Crystal Briley, a National Board Certified Teacher, received a bachelor of music from Samford University, Birmingham, AL and a master of music from Chicago College of Performing Arts at Roosevelt University, Chicago, IL.

I have a few simple games that are great filler activities but still allow for singing and community building. This is one I wrote this year after observing a classroom teacher play the game and the students begin chanting, "Run, turkey, run!" while passing the objects around.
Hope you find it useful! <div><br /></div><div>
<b>Game</b> </div><div> One each of printed image of farmer and turkey. Cut out, laminate, etc. </div><div> Teach song. </div><div>Players sit in circle. Sing song, pass turkey as quickly as possible from player to player. After a few players have passed, begin passing farmer to try to catch the turkey. </div><div>Teacher can say, “reverse”, or “freeze” (or have a sound cue for each action) and students respond. </div><div>Game ends when turkey is caught by farmer.

My copies of the card got water stained over the summer with a leak in my storage room while my classroom was being painted, so I had to make new ones. I have tried to find the original teacher who shared but was unable to. So, thank you, unknown person. </p><p>There are many ways to use these - display and ask students to analyze what is happening or for choice in what they want to do next or simply use these as a reminder for yourself about what options you have for different activities. Remember that "Play" doesn't always mean instruments - it can be games, body percussion, or instruments. </p><p>For a copy of 8 x 11 cards to print for your classroom, click<a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Qkqq5MxU6VgHRkfjngcxTG6ujoEHTeL0coi0skym_ZU/copy"> here</a> (this will force a copy).</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Looking forward to summer plans but in the middle of stress and the behavior of students either escalates into chaos and typically well behaved students go bananas, or students simply check out mentally and emotionally. Our caffeine and sugar stashes are exhausted and our patience and enduring kindnesses are at Defcon 2. </span><span style="background-color: white;"> I have been teaching almost 30 years - it doesn't seem to get easier and children and (some) parenting expectations and consequences are not what they used to be. It seems like we are in the tornado and definitely not in Kansas anymore, Toto. </span></span><p></p><p><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">So, breathe in, breathe out. Don't be afraid to show videos - there are many play alongs, dance alongs, and other activities from <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@musication">Musication,</a> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@MrsKingsMusicCorner">Mrs. King's Musical Corner</a>, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@ReadyGOmusiceducation">Ready Go Music,</a> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@SwicksClassroom">Swick's Classroom</a>, and many more. </span></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">There is magic in the number three, so today here are three things you can do to continue actively making music in the classroom and keep your sanity. </span></span></p><p style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1em; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: left; text-size-adjust: 100%; vertical-align: baseline;"></p><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #45818e; font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Playful and Purposeful 1 - AKA "Nail it Down"</span></h2><br /><p></p><p style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1em; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: left; text-size-adjust: 100%; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Take those music concepts and play with them. Play games and review those sixteenth notes in a new way. One of my favorite things this time of year is to make rhythm snakes. Give partner pairs two different rhythm cards, practice with body percussion - assign each rhythmic element a different body percussion- chest tap quarter notes, clap eighth notes, pat sixteenth notes. </span></span></p><p style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1em; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: left; text-size-adjust: 100%; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Everyone places their rhythm card in a long "snake" on the ground - students read/perform rhythms, then put students into 3 groups- each group has one timbre to play- hand drums, woods, shakers. Each group is responsible for playing ONLY their rhythmic element. Switch so each person gets to play a different instrument from each timbre. Make it more interesting and musical by adding one of <a href="https://jamzone.musicwill.org/jam-along/">these backing tracks</a> from Music Will. </span></span></p><p style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1em; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: left; text-size-adjust: 100%; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></p><h2 style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1em; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: left; text-size-adjust: 100%; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #45818e; font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Playful and Purposeful 2 - AKA "Gameify It"</span></h2><p style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1em; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: left; text-size-adjust: 100%; vertical-align: baseline;"><br /></p><p style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 1em; text-align: left; text-size-adjust: 100%; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Singing games are playful and purposeful and if you can turn it into a "Level UP" game with various challenges in each level - even better! One of my favorites to teach second grade on up is Pass the Beat from my Sing a Song, Play a Game book. Level Up by teaching the basic as Level 1, replace the word "beat" with a clap for Level 2, replace "room" with a stomp for Level 3 and replace "Pass" with a snap for Level 4. </span></p><p style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 1em; text-align: left; text-size-adjust: 100%; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">If you are not following me on instagram, here are a few other games we love to play this time of year.

It made me think about my own school music experience as a kid, and I realized that not only was I missing something in my classroom, but that something from my own experience growing up was the same. I know as a Filipino-American in the 90s/2000s I would have had a greater sense of belonging and connection in what we were learning if we would have danced or sung anything from the Philippines. Or even just listened to Oops I Did It Again, anything Spice Girls, something with a boy band!</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /><br /></span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.8; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">The easiest way I felt that I could incorporate this relatability for my students quickly was by pairing it with folk dances that my students already knew from their own culture. Which brings us to today! </span></span></p><h1 style="line-height: 1.8; margin-bottom: 6pt; margin-top: 20pt; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: x-large;"><span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">🎶Break it Down Now Y’all🎶 </span></span>(Choosing Dances/ Pop Songs)</span></h1><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.8; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">How do I know if a folk dance is an appropriate level for my students? </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">You know your students best. For kids newer to folk dancing, I choose dances that keep the same partner throughout the dance and song. Sometimes I adapt a folk dance to where the dance is pretty much the same, but without changing a partner. (I would be remiss if I didn’t mention that a good rule of thumb for all dance choices is that ritual dances, or dances of ritual origin, are always off limits to perform or practice in our classrooms.) </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /><br /></span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.8; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">How will I know when my students are ready for me to add the pop songs to the folk dance? </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Before adding a pop song to a folk dance I make sure that the students have had loads of past experience with the dance; even to where I don’t need to call directions! Because when you do add a pop song, there can be tricky situations that can come up. And if the students have a deeper depth of knowledge about how the dance works, they will be able to adapt and improvise better.</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.8; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">How do you decide what songs to use? </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Sometimes I take the lead of what songs my students are singing from movies or youtube, what is popular on the Hot 100, and most of all: what is Kidz Bop recording? Sometimes I start with Kidz Bop and seek out the original recording to check and hear if the original recording is good to have in your classroom. If a student suggests a song and you feel like it is questionable, ask a student who is in high school or college to have a listen and tell you if there are any hidden meanings in the lyrics.</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /><br /></span></span></p><div style="line-height: 1.8; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Does tempo matter?</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> Songs that are closer in tempo to the traditional music allow for a more seamless transition for students who are starting out layering folk dances with pop songs. But when the tempo really differs from the traditional music tempo, it opens up a chance to see more collaboration, creativity, and adaptability from your students. </span></span></div><div style="line-height: 1.8; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></span></div><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.8; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I have my song/dance, how do I choose which song/dance would go well with it? </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Check if they are in the same time signature and they have similar forms*.

I recommend doing this while sitting somewhere comfy and not while driving and/or in traffic…seriously learn from my mistakes y’all! Another trick is to find a YouTube video of people dancing the folk dance, put it on mute, and start the music and see how it overlays. </span></span></p><h1 style="line-height: 1.8; margin-bottom: 6pt; margin-top: 20pt; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: x-large;"><span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">🎶It's Tricky...

The foundations of how to move to music primed and prepared her for a Bachelor’s in music education at the University of Alabama, and a Master’s in clarinet performance at the University of North Texas. Though it was difficult to leave her students in Houston after 6 years, Melissa currently teaches in just outside of Iowa City, Iowa. There, she continues to provide students with musical experiences that cultivate self-expression and help them thrive as positive, productive, and culturally mindful world citizens. When she isn’t teaching, Melissa enjoys presenting, creating, cooking, and being a couch potato watching her favorite shows.</span></span><p></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6193017486541842349.post-63948240805309349482023-02-07T06:41:00.006-08:002023-02-07T06:41:55.780-08:00Scat Like That! <p> This is a slide set with multiple videos and printables available<a href="https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1lXmub51anXZMmkKkRoz6pP8ZYjD-W_CF5PyycO8xIYc/copy"> here</a>!

Thinking about the past year leads to thoughts of what I want to change and improve upon in the coming year. This is a letter I have wanted to write for a while and one which I wish someone would have shared with my first year teacher self and continue to share with other music educators. I hope it encourages you.</p><p>To Whom It May Concern:</p><p>I don't teach music. I teach children music. There is a big difference in what and who is centered in those two sentences.</p><p>Teaching music begins not with the teaching of music concepts and skills, but with focusing on WHO we teach. Children first. That means that for most of us who teach elementary music, there is a steep learning curve in understanding the wide range of developmental ages and stages we teach. In a single classroom, we have at least five, and often MANY more various stages of typical childhood development. Add to that neurodivergence, medical and cognitive differences, social and emotional variances, and cultural and personality differences and there is much to be learned. </p><p>We have a responsibility as music teachers who teach a high quality music curriculum; a responsibility that allows all students to experience music from people around the world without bias. High quality music should not include music that is problematic, questionable, or racist. Do your research and don't rely on others to do it for you. Google is free and available for all. Music history, musicians, and music created by various identities, religions, and genders will be used in our classrooms. Identity formation is a critical aspect of social development in children as they develop sense of self, understanding, belonging, and acceptance. The idea that classroom curriculum should serve as "windows and mirrors" for children has been around for over 30 years - first coined by educator Emily Styles in 1988. Approaching children's music and music education through the lens of windows, mirrors, and sliding glass doors prioritizes diversity, honors cultural experiences, and promotes empathy and understanding. It also helps all children to feel included and a part OF, not apart from, as they see themselves in the music and musical experiences.</p><p>Our greatest responsibility is not in data collection, meetings, trainings, and PD's that are unnecessary, irrelevant, or do not promote the advancement of our craft and art. Our greatest responsibility is to help each child become the best version of themselves which means everything we do should be steeped in doing what is best for children, not adults. Children are at their best when they feel seen and loved. It isn't always easy to love and even like every child and the "prickly pears" and "frequent fliers" can be downright difficult. It isn't always easy to connect and be relational with every child. The reality is we sometimes struggle to find just one way to connect with a child. But to that child who finally feels seen it means the world. Find the one thing.</p><p>There are many outside forces demanding teachers time, talents, and energy. Music teachers don't stop being musicians or music teachers at 3:45 when they are "off the clock." Music teachers often teach private lessons or have secondary jobs directing ensembles or playing or singing in adult music ensembles. We often listen to music passively while wondering how to create a lesson to go with it. We have families and lives outside of school. Boundaries are necessary - hold to them and live your life. Stop comparing yourself to others and start advocating for yourself. Period. Do the next best thing for you. </p><p>Finally, be kind. To yourself, your fellow teachers, to your students, and to strangers. A kind word or gesture goes a long way in this filtered world where "likes" and "followers" dominate. </p><p>With much affection, </p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeS8pONZB5IDjsof8ehwyYSlYLPp3hHPjQuEPHwluLNEDrqcGjcgnLalfFspHZ_ZEnmlLz6vMSw_PIhVvKmmFoXaLYuWI1A25GESdWeFVg1kneZMcPtVWZZ_wm2LUA-Vm_mEM9dm88n6HaGCGgmCOZN2qMP2_9dnD7iWZMB3Jsk2UQy5pXh1uEf1Y/s960/Aimee.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="720" data-original-width="960" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeS8pONZB5IDjsof8ehwyYSlYLPp3hHPjQuEPHwluLNEDrqcGjcgnLalfFspHZ_ZEnmlLz6vMSw_PIhVvKmmFoXaLYuWI1A25GESdWeFVg1kneZMcPtVWZZ_wm2LUA-Vm_mEM9dm88n6HaGCGgmCOZN2qMP2_9dnD7iWZMB3Jsk2UQy5pXh1uEf1Y/s320/Aimee.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><br /></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6193017486541842349.post-66073285812558357782022-12-13T05:30:00.001-08:002022-12-13T05:30:06.882-08:00Jingle Bells (INSTRUMENT, Not Song)<p> I love the distinctive sound of jingle bells. </p><div>I no longer use the song, Jingle Bells, in my classroom as it is rooted in Blackface Minstrelsy and has some sexual innuendo in the song.

Five Little Jingle Bells from Lynn Kleiner. </div><div>This song is the PERFECT replacement for Jingle Bells and my kids LOVE it!

Make Jingle Bell bracelets! </div><div>Use jingle bells (Dollar Tree often carries them in the craft or holiday section this time of year) and pipe cleaners. Each student gets 4-6 jingle bells to thread onto the pipe cleaner. Twist the ends and trim for size. The Kindergarten and First Graders are often over the moon with their special bracelets. This is also great fine motor control work and counting (I let them make two, one for each arm, so they have to get 10 bells, then cut them in half; 5 bells for each bracelet).</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhOB45V3fR99aAJs3ForaoM_ouwu3J1wC-581FXhMxu_yl0GHjGYrrJFZghfLZgcgyRb11WOyHzsDOf7Nw6fO4qeHlW1IEB_Ha1EZRbeZVnbWNb_yGEj2JQoHtwCqMoQFxtEvcaTSkgCQY9Kr7vQZ7M9akeoicYkcvoElLUjCHF11rBY6xCcf4NOiA" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="646" data-original-width="679" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhOB45V3fR99aAJs3ForaoM_ouwu3J1wC-581FXhMxu_yl0GHjGYrrJFZghfLZgcgyRb11WOyHzsDOf7Nw6fO4qeHlW1IEB_Ha1EZRbeZVnbWNb_yGEj2JQoHtwCqMoQFxtEvcaTSkgCQY9Kr7vQZ7M9akeoicYkcvoElLUjCHF11rBY6xCcf4NOiA" width="252" /></a></div><br /><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg6J5YhOIofbofRuO_MDEbH2G8m-lGpkaD6CAZHo0d_pDSSKdUvGeonvDBjrYP7DQ8uKKHMxNIEeTm6GFWaBA8d-QtnSq0pN23F4T6qPzPkK23qraEkTkjBgxgzn1zj29jr0XCLWJ6n6jJWir_x5f6A1cQxdhF888Wd6f2HBti0OKoMt6ZjuiyJP1A" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="130" data-original-width="181" height="230" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg6J5YhOIofbofRuO_MDEbH2G8m-lGpkaD6CAZHo0d_pDSSKdUvGeonvDBjrYP7DQ8uKKHMxNIEeTm6GFWaBA8d-QtnSq0pN23F4T6qPzPkK23qraEkTkjBgxgzn1zj29jr0XCLWJ6n6jJWir_x5f6A1cQxdhF888Wd6f2HBti0OKoMt6ZjuiyJP1A" width="320" /></a></div><br />3. Jingle Bell Parade from Music K8. Each student with jingle bells line up behind you and you lead them on a parade throughout the room. This works well for a concert entry or exit with littles, too. </div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/zIbBijxT7PI" width="320" youtube-src-id="zIbBijxT7PI"></iframe></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">4.

Since switching the starting pitches from BAG to GE I have been delighted that beginning with G and E opens up so much bitonic and tritonic (SM and SLM) songs and once we add low D we have access to some wonderful pentatonic material! </p><p>We are working on some pre-improvisational ideas and so The House Around the Corner was born this week! My students needed more practice with low E, and they were clamoring for something scary and spooky. This song can go in various directions - spooky or with a more autumnal/wintry theme. </p><p>I sang this song to them while playing the accompaniment.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEMmN7csz20T4t5H8tvKCQN1QjqtNJonbGc7v3fSGzX2Vu7f7FFaz7zFcUALoRfZGVg3iyOjwzyQkkOD4Gnfl79fGAwYB6cQJ-z_ltH7QVrP-k2s1vtu5RzlD80xkStX6_6PSlMzHPP8ciqLhfumCrjVHbhODisaI6M0HyjNeaVTFvgjx1H4eNtRo/s1586/Screen%20Shot%202022-10-15%20at%206.45.09%20AM.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="852" data-original-width="1586" height="344" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEMmN7csz20T4t5H8tvKCQN1QjqtNJonbGc7v3fSGzX2Vu7f7FFaz7zFcUALoRfZGVg3iyOjwzyQkkOD4Gnfl79fGAwYB6cQJ-z_ltH7QVrP-k2s1vtu5RzlD80xkStX6_6PSlMzHPP8ciqLhfumCrjVHbhODisaI6M0HyjNeaVTFvgjx1H4eNtRo/w640-h344/Screen%20Shot%202022-10-15%20at%206.45.09%20AM.png" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Then I displayed these four 4-beat rhythm cards.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJXHj8vcYITZGqYFJurzXT7D0PKXAcCpnc5Tvjorz8Jyh38axKvyq7whRo7vsy2Hrq7UenP8rxtEwd-cgkIxPhRL25--kqefcVY2YHNjxNVZ7sbBEmMZf4m37B3jJDKK6cZKFNSnhYXaVzcX-U2IrOi9h038nwA0Mv27wxxVzf_IVoBTfPQtatVIY/s1316/Screen%20Shot%202022-10-15%20at%206.56.28%20AM.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="778" data-original-width="1316" height="236" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJXHj8vcYITZGqYFJurzXT7D0PKXAcCpnc5Tvjorz8Jyh38axKvyq7whRo7vsy2Hrq7UenP8rxtEwd-cgkIxPhRL25--kqefcVY2YHNjxNVZ7sbBEmMZf4m37B3jJDKK6cZKFNSnhYXaVzcX-U2IrOi9h038nwA0Mv27wxxVzf_IVoBTfPQtatVIY/w400-h236/Screen%20Shot%202022-10-15%20at%206.56.28%20AM.png" width="400" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>As we have been working on something we call the Wizard's Challenge using In the Hall of the Mountain King, I tell the students this rhythm might be familiar. Then I sing it using the word "dude" (which is what we "whisper" when playing recorder) and their little minds are blown that this is the rhythm of the melody repeated over and over. Then we play the first card (top left) only using "E". Then play through each subsequent card using "E." Play the top two cards, then the bottom two, then the full 16-beat phrase. <div>I change the bordun to quarter notes E B C B, which sounds very spooky, and we play the full phrase using E. </div><div>Next, change the quarter notes to G. Play full phrase.</div><div>Finally, change the 3rd card (four 8th note pairs) to B and have students work on the transition from third card to final card (transitioning from B to E) and then we play the full phrase.</div><div>Perform as A (song), B (recorder melody), A again. Students could also play the melody as it is a simple La Do Re Mi song. If you have Carol King's Recorder Routes you could combine this with Who Has Seen the Wind, another LDRM song. </div><div><br /></div><div>The students loved it and felt so successful! The next time we will work on improvising beats 2 and 4 of the third measure and will add zombie movement (as they requested), whistling tubes, flexatone, black scarves, and spring drums. They also want to add gongs, cymbals, and other things so it is sure to be a piece we will record to send home to families. </div><div>Enjoy!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTx4QupuxBaZnKATIjE-B4Yl_ATpiO6ZP8lvqviADF8o1-m6daOlr7hkzsytrKTPf5x5yKKS_w8gEqA-Zj9YzqWhpVnmZWuTUixjzRqkffR27X_QnpRHIuBvgefFnZocz183dALe2LRmJ1O6GEY-Uv-4bDJjw4OD5DZdwn9x_Hovv0ODAdMFOO-Y8/s960/Aimee.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="720" data-original-width="960" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTx4QupuxBaZnKATIjE-B4Yl_ATpiO6ZP8lvqviADF8o1-m6daOlr7hkzsytrKTPf5x5yKKS_w8gEqA-Zj9YzqWhpVnmZWuTUixjzRqkffR27X_QnpRHIuBvgefFnZocz183dALe2LRmJ1O6GEY-Uv-4bDJjw4OD5DZdwn9x_Hovv0ODAdMFOO-Y8/s320/Aimee.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><br /><div><br /><p><br /></p></div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
