Kindergarten music lessons

So we’ve decided what we want to teach . We’ve chosen our musical materials . Now it’s time to plug it all in. Today I’m sharing how I’ve planned the first month of Kindergarten.

The first time I taught a group of kindergartens I was pretty excited. This age is so fun! But as the group walked in I realized the HUGE struggle it is to get Kindergarteners to do anything on their first day of school. It's the most adorable little struggle to get them to sit on the rug

Looking for a fun music lesson based on a book? My first graders loved playing instruments along with the rhythms from Chicka Chicka Boom Boom!

Here's a list of fun activities you can do with preschool and kindergarten using rhythm sticks!

Classical music to teach emotions, to be used alongside for imaginative movement, background to imaginative play or simply to listen to.

Music fosters physical, intellectual, social, and emotional growth. These music games for kids have big benefits and minimal setup.

Why you should do music and movement activities with your 3-5 year old. Easy activities for families to do at home or in preschools.

We're focusing on practicing rhythms and preparing kindergarten students for quarter notes and eighth notes (ta and ti-ti/ du and du-de). We’ll start with steady beat activities then move to whole group instruction, small group practice, and finally a meaningful wrap up to bring home what your kindergarten musicians learned. I’ll share specific examples, sample dialogue between you and your students, and things you can use in your classroom- including a free worksheet!
