  Description: This recording accompanies the music found in Music Box Downloads in the SONGS category. Download the music and use the recording for lots of fun with unpitched percussion or Orff instruments in F pentatonic. Play on the numbers for the A section. Use a cowbell to give 4 beat rhythms and have the students echo. March to a new instrument for the C section and freely play when you arrive until its time to repeat the entire process. You can change the words to Christmas Morning if you are performing for a Christmas program. Garland halos look great on the little angels!

  So far I am using your Shoo Turkey and Angel Band Song for my students and they love them so thank you for your wonderful resources!! I am wondering if you have any ideas on what winter songs you would do if music students have severe disabilities, such as autism or learning disabilities. I have some special education music classes and I am trying to figure out songs I could do with them. Some of them are nonverbal students but most of them love to move to music!! Could they move and do body percussion to the Angel Band song? Please let me know if you have any strategies on teaching special education music students.  less

If all the Raindrops/Snowflakes is great for participation vocally...ah, ah, ah, ah, ah when they "catch" the raindrops or snowflakes. Great visuals to use to encourage words is here in Visuals. Helps remember words and get more participation. I bet they would like "Ring and stop!" with bells or Shake and stop with maracas, could include "dance and stop! " All these choices are short and repetitive for children to be able to sing. If you are doing one of my Hello Songs, you could include a verse about dance, Concert, holidays, etc. Trepek (ideas for Nutcracker) is wonderful with scarves, from Kids Can Listen, Kids Can Move. Chinese Dance great too. Hope this helps!  less
