#GENERAL MUSIC TUTOR WINDOWS#
Chairs, tables, pencils, walls, doors, windows (carefully), and whatever can become an instrument. Take any song you already do and add a whole other lesson to it by extending with some found sounds.įor those who don’t know, found sounds are when you play anything in your area like an instrument. Sometimes I even put several songs together in one pile. To make it harder, I don’t usually tell them what song they’re trying to figure out. Now, in small groups or individually, they have to solve the puzzle and put the rhythms back into the right order. Cut them up, measure by measure, and mix the measures up.

This is less of a full lesson plan for 5th-grade music and more of an extension you can do with any song you already have on your list.Ĭonvert songs your kids know into rhythm-only sheet music. Thanks for supporting our content! #5 Rhythm Puzzles I’m also excited to add in some world music instrument bingo too which I got on Amazon!Īffiliate Disclosure: Some links may be affiliate in nature which means we earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. There are some great and affordable ones on TPT, but I’ve used this musical instrument bingo for years and love it. I’m not one to reinvent the wheel, so I usually look for something someone already made. Sometimes it’s good to take a step back and play a game that covers more about the music itself rather than practicing the skills.įor me, musical instruments are one of those topics I feel are critical in a students’ curriculum, and fifth-grade music is the last chance to get it covered. Not every lesson needs to be super active (though I would say most of them should be). It’s also perfect for this age level in terms of concepts, coordination challenges, and more. He said they played it as kids with sticks, and it was a blast! I learned this from another student in my Kodaly Level 3 training who was from Mexico. One of those I added before this goal is a song called Al Citron. I’ve made it a goal in my teaching to include a more culturally diverse collection of songs. It’s a fun way to get into an otherwise serious song.Ĭheck out more circle games for the music classroom. If they can handle it, then I add small items such as bean bags, stuffed animals, or scarves onto the parachute. Turn in a circle to the left for 8 beats (clap on 7).Turn in a circle to the right for 8 beats (clap on 7).“Twill be in the valley of love and delight.” Two slow bows.Walk to the left (8 beats) and clap/stop on the word “right.”.“…where we ought to be…” clap and turn around with a right hand in the middle.Students walk to the right with their left hands in the middle.In this case, the bribe is the parachute dance/movement game. With the 5th-grade music kids, I’m not above a little bribe. Simple Gifts or the Shaker Melody is a beautiful song, but it’s not one your students may just buy into right away. I’m all about teaching my students a mix of “fun” songs and ones that are more classic in nature (as long as they’re culturally and historically appropriate). Pro-tip: Expand even further by facilitating further experimentation with dynamics, tempo, form, and more! Get student ideas they’re so creative! #2 Simple Gifts Song And Parachute Game Let students either help you pick which ones or use these: Rotate parts, so students do a bit of everything. Split the class into thirds and have the class do the whole ostinati pattern.Repeat step 2 with the class doing the clapping part.Repeat step 2 with the class doing the pat part, and the T.Have the class do the stomping part while T.Teach each part to the whole class on its own.
