The children love the lessons, and you love your job! That’s what happens when you teach the right thing at the right time. Students are more engaged and successful, and you're happier because of it!
As a new teacher, I can remember being so excited after attending my first year of Orff workshops, and taking it all back to the classroom only to be disappointed that it didn’t work. That’s because I had yet to understand the important foundation the students needed.
I love sharing lessons with teachers, so you can skip the struggles of what goes when!
Watch the video for a few ideas on how to introduce chord changes before Orff instruments.
Considering some new lessons for elementary? Let me know if you have any questions! I’m happy to guide you to the options. Scope and Sequence available too. Take a peek at Rhythm Readers, Melody Makers and Recorder Rookies.
It’s almost time for our favorite summer story, Froggy Learns to Swim! If you don’t have it yet, this great summer lesson is available here in Music Box. If you're not a member, we hope to see you soon!
And… if you have done training, become a Music Rhapsody member and get FIVE sets of lesson plans with your first $25 monthly payment – you get to choose! That’s between 50-56 lesson plans (or 100+ if you only have 30 minute lessons) in the age groups you want. AND it includes the recordings and video of the activities.
As always, thanks for your support and suggestions!
