<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">My students bring to a <b>notebook</b>, pencil and folder to class starting in grade two. The notebook is used as a creative journal and reference dictionary.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> Studies have shown if you write it down, you learn it faster.</span><br />
<br />
When I teach a new term, it goes in their book. <i>Example</i>: the Skill is Rhythm. We draw the note symbol-label it and define it.<br />
<br />
In the beginning stages when I do an aural review I sometimes ask: " <i>by raising your hand and looking in your notebook, who can tell me about this note symbol?</i>" Holding up a 1/4 note. The students should answer: " <i>it's called a 1/4 note, has a filled in oval with a stem and gets one beat of sound. </i> "<br />
<br />
My students also use their notebook to write down any thoughts they may forget. This deters "calling out " while I am instructing.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My class routine based on a 40 minute session, is a short transition activity while I take roll.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This could be: find your spot, open up a notebook, write down or follow a quick written direction off of the blackboard (2-5 minutes); instruction (5-10 minutes) activity (20-25 minutes) cleanup and review (5 minutes)</span><br />
<br />
<b><u>Bonus BOOKMARKS</u></b>: students are rewarded for <b><span style="color: blue; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">positive behaviors</span></b> and <b><span style="color: magenta; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">achievements</span></b>.<br />
<br />
The students have the option to collect the bookmarks and keep them or they can trade them in.<br />
<br />
<i>For example</i>, one bookmark equals 1 aural answer pass or removing 1 written test question. Five bookmarks will add 5 points on a test or they may write their name on the back of their bookmark and put one in my <b><u>Raffle Jar.</u></b> At the end of the month I pull out a name and they receive a reward. Sometimes it is a pencil, a small toy, small candy, lunch with me or the principle, choose the activity for the day.<br />

Be a sponge? You are thinking, (what the heck does that mean?)<br />
<br />
Well, what I mean is, soak up all the knowledge and expertise of the veterans around you. Not just from your cooperating mentor. Walk the halls sometime and quietly listen, observe and soak in how the other teachers teach, manage and organize their classroom.<br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Keep a notebook. I am big notebook advocate. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Just like a reporter, jot down notes to refer back to. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><u>Ask questions</u>, the master teachers are there to help you. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We all have walked your journey including these first steps. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Reflect on what you observed and try ideas out. You'll know if they work for you only if you give them a try. You probably will not do things exactly the same-and that's OK tweak them to make them work for you. Some ideas may work and some may not. Once again, that's OK, throw the not's away!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">As a music teacher, we tolerate a different level of sound.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Controlled sound.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">After all, that is our subject - the Study of Sound. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Yes, some of the traditional general classroom management skills do work for us with some tweaking. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">If you are new to a school I suggest making an inventory list if there is not one. It helps knowing how many tambourines etc. you have to work with. </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
For me, learning has never been measured against a group of people, but from the growth with in each individual.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">As teachers we are not only planting the seeds of academics but the seeds of dignity and self worth.</span><br />
<br />
The greatest reward for me, is watching and listening to my students bring to life what they have learned.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Teachers of all levels, become a child again, discover - learn - experiment, dare to go outside your comfort zone. </span><br />
<br />
Learning is only as fun and exciting as the teacher instructing the class.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Remind, teach and model that mistakes are not the enemy of success. </span><br />
Help your students analyze their mistakes, looking for the reason where it went wrong and to use these mistakes not a stumbling blocks but as steppingstones to learn.<br />
<br />

<b><u>Create Team Roles:</u></b> performer, MC, stage hand to help set up props if needed, operate music, scorekeeper, timekeeper<br />

<b><u>Review concert classroom performance etiquette:</u></b><br />
The performer/s is/are introduced to the audience including what talent/s they're about to see<br />

<br />
Consider taking still pictures or videos of the performances<br />
Photos of the performers can be displayed throughout the school to reinforce positive self esteem and team spirit.<br />
<br />
Remind students, if a mistake happens during their performance, don't worry, just to keep going. Mistakes are a natural part of learning.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<u style="font-weight: bold;">Group work:</u> <i>(for Aerobic/Dance/Radio Station in class working time)</i><br />
Remind students to: listen to each other, stay on task, be open minded, everyone contributes a move or idea to the routine, everyone is responsible for the group's success.<br />
<br />
When I choose a song for the group, I play the song section two times. I tell them to write down any moves that come to them as they listen. Then they split off into their small groups. I give them 10 minutes to discuss and organize. After 10 minutes, I announce I am going to play the section again and to practice what they have so far. Discuss and practice without the music-10 minutes later I play the music again-and repeat the process for the remainder of the period.<br />
<br />
If the students are choosing their music, make sure it is appropriate for the classroom.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGh-hvxIEHcHUK16FAztnV61CB1Y2jo-LJ866Y9rEF4raaQrqePEacxDL37JCkzra5UZdkTsDA_9Vu4lyTwptQeISRo2PsyN7LRf3LSMmLapSw3P8Ok0uzt32FPc7PcvDFMIDhA8JLaok/s1600/movement.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="241" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGh-hvxIEHcHUK16FAztnV61CB1Y2jo-LJ866Y9rEF4raaQrqePEacxDL37JCkzra5UZdkTsDA_9Vu4lyTwptQeISRo2PsyN7LRf3LSMmLapSw3P8Ok0uzt32FPc7PcvDFMIDhA8JLaok/s320/movement.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
You can choose the groups or let the students do it. You know which classes can handle choosing their own teammates.<br />
<br />
While they are either discussing or practicing moves, I visually and actively monitor each group, making sure they are staying on task and working together as a group. I make sure I encourage and praise the group effort.<br />
<br />
Assign one member from each group to write down the names of their group members and the name of their group for you. You will be the group name for the MC and the members' names if you're going to give individual grades.<br />

Some of you maybe thinking "UGH!" another LIST!!!! I call it my "Go To On The Fly Lessons".</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I have a couple lessons of every Music Element for every grade. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Sometimes my schedule gets a wrench thrown in it at a moments notice. Administrators LOVE when you are flexible and do not bat an eye at a change and still provide an educational lesson. Maybe not the one that you initially planned, but life is messy and the best, learn to go with the flow. So your plan/s get pushed off for a week. No big deal. Just notate in your plan book the schedule change, the time and who informed you of the change. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Not all of my "On The Fly Lessons" are website based. These lessons contain little or no prep. Just grab this and that and off I go. They are basically review lessons or singing lessons. Start small and in time you will build up your repertoire. (kind of like building up your retirement egg)</div>

<div>
<b><u><span style="background-color: yellow; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Tip 1: You Tube</span></u></b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Problem</b>: A FREE Video resource to supplement your lessons which some school districts block. While other districts have slow broadband or suffer from lost connections. </div>
<div>
Some videos come with advertisements (not all age appropriate).</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Solution</b>: <span style="color: blue;">A FREE Web Video Converter</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: blue;">These Free Web tools allow you to convert a You Tube video to a Video File.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: blue;">Now you can watch videos anytime without worry of Network Issues or Advertisements.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: blue;">Search for "free online video converter". There are several.</span></div>
<div>
I use <a href="http://en.savefrom.net/" target="_blank">http://en.savefrom.net/</a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>How to: </b></div>
<div>
<ol>
<li>Open up website</li>
<li>Paste in the URL of the You Tube Video</li>
<li>Choose your File Type (I use MP4)</li>
<li>Convert</li>
</ol>
<div>
Video will download to your DOWNLOAD Folder.</div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
If you created a separate Video File/Folder, you can move your videos from your Download Folder to one of these.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
♫Some converters require you to download and install software to run their converter♫<br />
<br />
<b><u><span style="background-color: cyan; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Tip 2: Equipment</span></u></b><br />
<br />
<b>Problem</b>: It's NOT working!<br />
<br />
<b>Solution</b>:<br />
<br />
<ol>
<li><span style="color: blue;">Make sure it IS working BEFORE the first class.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: blue;">Know what to do to fix it AND</span></li>
<li><span style="color: blue;">Have a BACK-UP PLAN!</span></li>
</ol>
<div>
<b><u><span style="background-color: magenta; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Tip 3: Activities</span></u></b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Issue</b>: The Activity is marked for K-2.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Solution</b>: <span style="color: blue;">Try the Activities yourself to find out just how difficult / easy the Activities would be for your students and assign which Grade Level/s accordingly.</span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
♫If it is too easy for Grade 2 you may want to use it sometime for a sight reading assessment or a quick review♫</div>
<div>

After viewing a video/s, discuss how the Power of Music evokes emotions by<br />
using Dynamics, Tempo and Tone Colors in multiple ways.<br />
<br />
<strong><u><span style="font-size: large;">Viewing Options:</span></u></strong><br />
1. Show video or a clip of a video without sound. Ask your students to describe the emotion/s.<br />
2. Show the video now with the sound. Ask your students to describe the emotion/s.<br />
3. Ask your students if they think the music enhanced the emotion for the audience to experience what was being portrayed on screen or there was no difference.<br />
4. If they answered yes, the music enhanced, ask them to explain using musical terms the musical effects that helped the emotions along for the audience to experience. Be as specific as possible.<br />

<u><strong><span style="font-size: large;">Instructions:</span></strong></u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
* Place all the Rhythm Cups on 1 table ( I call this the Rhythm Cup Holding Table)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
* Divide class into 2 or 3 teams</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
* 2 students per team compete at same time</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
* Teacher places his/her chosen Rhythm Pattern in a place for the entire class to see</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
* When time starts, Student 1 goes to the Rhythm Cup holding table, grabs the Rhythm cups that are in the teachers Rhythm Pattern. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
* Student 1 then takes these cups to the playing table and sets up the Rhythm Cups to match the teacher chosen pattern in the same order, then stands behind the playing table.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
* Student 2, standing about 3 feet from the table, bounces the ping pong balls, one at a time, off the table or off the floor, into each cup, in Rhythmic order. If the ball bounces out of order or knocks a cup over Student 1 resets the cup.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
* The first team to complete the ball bounce in order before 59 seconds is up, wins the points.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
* 2 measure patterns (double the number of cups)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
* Add Half Notes, Dotted Half Notes, Whole Notes, Half Rests, Whole Rests</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
* School wide competition: When you divide classes, assign each team a color, (use school colors or your country's colors) example: Red, White, Blue... each color represented in each class. After all the classes have played, tally up and announce the winner!</div>

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">During the school day, sometimes I would play the piano in between my classes. My students knew if I was still playing the piano when they arrived, they would enter the room quietly and wait until I was finished.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sometimes I would play one of my favorite songs through my room sound system while sitting at my desk focusing on my water fountain or making circles in my sand dish to help relieve tension, relax or refocus by giving my brain a quick break.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: cyan; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Tai Chi uses slow, rhythmic, meditative movements to enhance relaxation, inner calm and peace.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have taught my students as young as Kindergarten to use music and Tai Chi as a meditative tool. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I had a Kindergarten class who was so unfocused and so undisciplined that I gave this a try and it took! Their classroom teacher asked for a copy of the music I used so she could play it in her room. What happened was when the kids heard the music, their minds and bodies automatically relaxed and refocused on their task at hand without doing the movements!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: #fce5cd; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>I used music by David Lanz, Cristofori's Dream (Album)</i></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I taught the following 3 movements to them: Around the Platter, Bass Drum and Carry the Ball Around the Platter.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The key is to adjust the speed of the movements to the natural "feeling" of the music you choose. I find the slow, meditative sounds the best.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In the following instructional videos, the moves are done at a faster speed for instructional purposes only.</div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">For many people, singing is the most natural way to <span style="color: blue;"><b>PERFORM </b></span>music. Sadly, not all people will participate in singing activities for a variety of reasons; shy, self-conscious to name a few. Some children are no different.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">There are many skills required in learning to sing a new song especially for young children who are just beginning to learn to read words. Not only do they need to remember the words, there is the understanding of the words, pronouncing the words and remembering how the Melody goes. This is a lot for our younger school aged children.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b style="background-color: yellow;">Classroom Rhythm Instruments</b> give <b><span style="color: red;">INSTANT SUCCESS</span></b> and confidence. The Rhythm Games and Activities are<u> EASY</u>. For me, there is always full participation and the students are <b><span style="color: magenta;">CREATING </span></b>music without really trying!</span><br />

What works with one group may not work with another group. Just as what works one year may not work the next year. This is why you need to have at least 1 gig of many ways to teach a concept.<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> (<i>Back when I first started to teach we called it a file cabinet! ;)</i> )</span> You also do not want to get bored yourself, teaching the same lesson, the same way, over and over again.

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">My professional success is rooted in my effectiveness as an educator and continuing to master my craft. Success in any profession is grounded in how effective one is at their profession. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I like to refer to Music as the "feeling" subject. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Two questions I always ask my student teachers are "Who is your favorite teacher? Why?" All of them, in their own way say it is because they "felt" that teacher truly "cared" about them. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Connect with your students on an "emotional" level that is natural to you. Mine is a sense of humor and honesty.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Remember how the teacher/s you respect, make you "feel". </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Remember and hold on to the passion that drove you to become a "teacher".</span><br />
