I LOVE BOOKS!!! Yes, the paper kind.. I'm a little anti-digital when it comes to the printed word! I also love using them in the music room; they are a perfect vehicle to teach, review, sing, create, and play around with! Here are a few favorites; each one of these is a picture file you can download, print, and use! *A note about organization; begin to make an excel spreadsheet or word doc that includes grade levels you would use the book with, what skills/concepts can be taught, and when you might use this during the year; for example, when I introduce rests with kindergarten students in the spring after experiencing it, now we're ready to label it, I will put in my Kindergarten sheet, "Wide Mouthed Frog", SPRING, quarter notes, eighth notes, rest, LABEL rest, song, rhythm, Orff instruments. This helps me to keep track of not only what concepts/skills I can work on using that book, but when I might want to use it! Also, print a copy of the lesson, fold it and place it into the front page of the book! Sorry the Mitten in the Snow visual organization page is out of place.. couldn't move it and it's late.. :)

I love this time of year in my classroom because it signals the beginning of a delightful string of holidays: Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas! The music of Halloween is especially fun̷…

He studied art at the Semyon Rachinsky fine art school, icon-painting at the Troitse-Sergiyeva Lavra in 1883, modern painting at the Moscow School of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture in 1884 to 1889, and at the Imperial Academy of Arts in St. Petersburg from 1894 to 1895.

If I ever get around to making my summer favorites playlist, "Summer in the City" will be in the mix. "Summer in the City" is a 1960's oldies pop song by the Lovin' Spoonful. It was written by John Sebastian, Steve Boone, and Mark Sebastian. It really captures summer in the city -- starting with a VW Bug horn and ending with a jackhammer! The lyrics include: "Hot town, summer in the city Back of my neck getting dirt and gritty Been down, isn't it a pity Doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city All around, people looking half dead Walking on the sidewalk, hotter than a match head But at night it's a different world Go out and find a girl Come-on come-on and dance all night Despite the heat it'll be alright And babe, don't you know it's a pity the days can't be like the nights In the summer, in the city In the summer, in the city." I found a fun video of the song that sets the music to an old Harold Lloyd silent movie called Speedy. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. What is your favorite summer song? I'd love to hear from you in the comments, below.

This is a chant that I used in my student teaching and I use it EVERY year with great success. My first graders are in full-fledged ta ti-ti practice and I like that this uses four different combinations of those rhythmic elements for each line. Here's the chant: I use this mainly as a reading/decoding exercise with my first graders. There are endless extension activities that you can do with this from adding instruments, vocal exploration warm-ups, part work using body percussion with beat vs. rhythm, etc.. In fact, Liza Meyers blogged about it a couple years ago and has a fabulous post where you can read some of her ideas by clicking here. Now, back to the decoding activity that I do. My students read the the chant from a poster that I made "back in the day" (you know, before these new fangled contraptions called LCD-Projectors, SMART boards and document cameras, lol!). Here it is: It's not high-tech but it gets the job done and the kids like the silly pictures. After they know the chant (not in the same lesson that they learn the chant), I have them listen for a specific rhythmic pattern. For example, I'll ask them if they hear the pattern ti-ti ta ti-ti ta. They decode that it's the ghost line. Then they read the chant, substituting the rhythm syllables for the decoded line WHILE listening for another rhythm pattern. This continues until they have aurally decoded the entire chant and perform the chant on rhythm syllables only. On another day, we will do a notational decoding. I have the rhythm patterns from the song (see below) printed out and cut into strips of paper so that there is only one phrase per strip of paper. Working in alone or in pairs (depending on your stage of practice or students' level of reading ability), they receive and envelope that contains all four rhythmic patterns. They then put the rhythm patterns in order to match the song. A fun extension activity is to have them arrange the strips however they like and perform them in that order. If you have students who need and extra challenge (you know, those kiddos that have been in piano a couple years or really pick up on things quickly) you can have them perform their rhythmic pattern while the rest of the group performs the "Miss White" chant. The other beautiful thing about this chant is that if you teach in a school that doesn't celebrate Halloween you can get away using it. It does use a ghost but it's pretty safe to use. :)
