Pass the Turkey

Usually I don't post 2 days in a row but this was too good to pass up sharing and it is time sensitive in light of Thanksgiving next week. 
I was on the AOSA Facebook page earlier this week and, as always, found wonderful teaching material, tips, and discussions going on.  If you haven't been on the site lately, GO!! You will find so many wonderful ideas and if you are looking for a piece of music or need help with recorder, children singing in parts, or anything related to teaching music, you can ask and get various responses within a few hours.  Truly invaluable and I have learned so much from the thousands of years of teaching experience there! There are other music teacher facebook pages, Elementary Music Teachers, I'm a General Music Teacher, Orff and Kodaly Teachers, and many others.. spend some time there - you'll be glad you did.
While I was on a page recently, a lovely teacher named Sarah shared a piece she had written earlier this week.  I reached out to her and she so very kindly allowed me to share it with you!

 The quack sticks are available from West Music here.  They are about $5.00 each and kids LOOOOVE them! So much fun! Starting the second week in November, I greet kids at the door and play them as they come in; sure to get giggles and a nice way to start off class; students that behave nicely get to play it on their way out.  Yes, dangle the carrot!!
They look like this:
Here are Sarah's kids performing the song:
Happy Thanksgiving!

  1. I somehow missed this one last year ;) No time to order a 'quacker' this year so I'm subbing in a vibraslap & playing this afternoon (we had an unexpected early snow day followed by a 2 hr delay on a Friday...this is perfect for a short class!) Thanks!

  3. Foods that Burn Belly Fat Losing weight is never easy or full of fun and sometimes defining yourself to things without taste or limiting foods can make a diet unsustainable. Instead, it would help if you strives to spice up..

  6. It is no secret that sandblasting San Antonio homes are a popular way of beautifying the exterior of the property. Sandblasting San Antonior is an old method of making your home look brand new by using abrasive substances such as sand, water, and rock. A few decades ago, sandblasting San Antonio homes were primarily for the purpose of removing rust from old iron doors and windows. Today, you can do this with a variety of different types of abrasives and materials in your sandblaster.
