My mission is to provide time saving and engaging resources for busy, passionate music teachers. I believe students learn best in a music classroom when they are engaged in the material, but finding the time to create these materials for your kids is overwhelming. I am here to help! I have kid tested and teacher approved resources that give you time to be the amazing teacher you already are.
Teach music. Love life.

Are you struggling with teaching solfége or looking for a fun, new method for teaching solfége to elementary students? Then look no further! Pitch Hill is for you!
This is part of the Pitch Hill Flipchart Bundle!
NOTE: This file is included in the PITCH HILL MEGA BUNDLE
In Pitch Hill, each solfège note is a character with his or her own story. For example, Do is a Boxer! He LOVES to box! He wears special head gear and boxing gloves to protect him and when we sing the note that is Do, we show our hands like boxing gloves. Do is very strong and will catch Re if she falls off the roof! (You will have to purchase to hear her story!)
This flipchart was created to accompany the Pitch Hill method of teaching solfege.

Post kid friendly music standards on your wall! These standards are based off GPS standards but can be modified for any district or standard set.
(I have condensed the 50+ Georgia standards into the 14 overall main ideas of the standard.)
I have them with colored background that you can print with a color printer and post in a smaller space. In addition, I have included a black and white version that you can blow up with a poster machine and color in yourself.
If you do not teach in Georgia, feel free to request them in a different order or presented differently! I have also made this an editable file for you to edit to suit your needs (change the standard number, order, etc).
…
Included in this file:
PDF ready to print as shown in the previews.
PowerPoint ready to print or show students as shown in the previews.
EDITABLE PowerPoint that you can customize to fit your needs.
…
NOTE: For the EDITABLE file, you will need to install the font that I link to in the resource. If you don’t, the formatting will look differently. It is editable so you can choose whichever font you would like, but it will not look like the previews unless you install the font. I have included a non-editable version that is ready to print for your convenience.
