FREE Distance Learning Music Lessons
With more schools being asked to go to digital learning platforms at the moment, here are the resources I have developed to work through with my students for the next few weeks. I hope you find them useful if you are looking for ways to engage your music students from a distance.
I am lucky that my students already have one-to-one devices so I know that they all have access to an app store and the Internet for online submissions. I have designed 6 assignments to use in conjunction with Music Maker Jam as an introduction to easy creation and arranging of pop music. It is a free app to download initially but has the option for in-app purchases, just so you are aware. I needed an alternative to Garageband for my students as not all of them have Macs/iPads. I’ve worked through all of the lessons using this app, but you might find a different app more suitable for your needs. I am not receiving any benefits from using this app. I just needed something quick and easy for my students to use. Please feel free to adapt, use, and share during this difficult time.
Wishing you all the best! Stay safe and keep making music! :-)

Free Music Clinic Sign
When we are working in the classroom on self-directed activities, I will often open my “music clinic” for students who need an extra bit of help. They seem to enjoy it when I set out this sign and I have gotten more students to come up to ask for some one-on-one assistance when using it. Hope that you find it useful!

Music Element Help Cards
There are 14 cards in this file. Each card features information about a different element of music in a convenient size for tabletop reminders. I have made packs of all 14, hole-punched the corner and put them on a ring for students to study and used small picture frames to display these cards for reference. If you laminate them and tape them to tabletops or keyboard music stands, they last for ages! Mine are in their third year of usage at the moment.

Tempo
Dynamics
Rhythms
Articulations
Symbols
Structure
Texture
Bass Clef Notes
Treble Clef Notes
Time Signatures
Sharp Key Signatures
Flat Key Signatures

Keyboards with Flats

Music Vocabulary
This is a great reference tool for students who want to develop music-specific terminology. There are 8 pages of vocabulary defining words that are often used to describe structure, harmony, melody, rhythm, dynamics, articulation, tempo, texture, instruments, music history, and music technology. The same 8 pages are then copied for you twice to make this as adaptable to your lessons as possible; once with the terminology and no definitions and once with neither words or definitions. Hopefully, you find this as useful as I have for reinforcing music terminology.
