Ready to start a Composer/Musician of the Month but don’t have a plan ready? Look no further! This great is a great pack on Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein, who wrote the music for Broadway shows and movies such as “The Sound of Music,” “Oklahoma,” “Cinderella,” and other musical theater (theatre) greats. This is a great way to incorporate more music history and listening into your music lesson plans.
…
This set includes:
Lesson Plans covering mini-lessons to presented at the beginning or end of your lesson as a “Musician of the Month” activity. These mini lessons (meant to be about 10 minutes in length) are curated video links of the featured person’s music meant to serve as the foundation of discussion. No worksheets or manipulatives are included.
Bulletin Board printables including information about the composer, definitions appropriate to the particular composer (i.e. Musical Theater, Concerto, Composer, Conductor, Musician).
Versions using both “Theater” and “Theatre”
YouTube links to engaging videos highlighting the composer’s works.
…
This set will get you with a Lesson Plan that is ready to print and yet can still be modified to suite your needs. The composer units focus on a different composer or musician each month and the lesson takes about 5-10 minutes of the lesson time. I do the lesson at the very beginning of class and focus on listening, discussing music with appropriate terminology, and connecting music to the “real world.” Each lesson comes with 5 mini-lessons and links to the YouTube videos used in the lesson.
In addition, you will also receive printouts for your bulletin boards with blank pages that can also be modified to suite your needs. I display the current composer’s information in my room and then move his or her information to the hallway as a running list for students. Pictures of this can be found on my blog.
Each lesson plan includes standards that are checked off for the GPS (Georgia Performance Standards). I have also included alternative National Music Standards Checklists and National Core Arts Standards Checklists.

Are you struggling with teaching solfege or looking for a fun, new method for teaching solfege to elementary students? Then look no further! Pitch Hill is for you!
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 file contains Pitch Hill paper puppet manipulatives. Use as note identifiers or as a manipulative to have students practice singing. This make a great early finisher activity!

This is a super fun (yet truly educational!) game where students race to the finish line by naming notes on the bass clef staff! Use in your daily lessons, as part of center activities, or as a great sub plan!

In the game, each student will draw a card and identify the pitch on the card. Then, they can move their game piece (provided by you - see here for examples or use pony beads!)
