This is a fun, escape room themed activity for a music class that also reinforces musical concepts. There are 7 different puzzles to solve using music knowledge such as rhythmic values, tempo markings, and note names. It is possible to set this up in a single classroom and have stations for the clues. If you have the space, it also works to use breakout spaces for separate clues. My middle schoolers loved it and generally solved it in 30-40 minutes. My Grade 5 pupils worked through the escape room with some hints, but were able to complete it with help. Fair warning, this entire escape room is based on a musical pun so if you are into punny jokes, this one is for you! Included: All clues in PNG format Answers to all of the clues A walkthrough/set-up suggestions One clue needs to be on a piano. A picture of a piano can work in a pinch

This is a fun unit for students to begin to explore the links between technology and music. This unit uses listening, composing, and arranging tasks and comes with grading rubrics for composing and arranging tasks. Students explore a I, V, vi, IV chord progression and apply this knowledge to different popular songs. Based upon what they have learned, students will then attempt to arrange their own piece of music based on this four-chord progression. Depending on how much time you allow for composition and performance tasks, this unit could last from 6 to 12 lessons. ** You will need to have previously downloaded software that will allow for either recording or note-entry and layering effects to make full use of this unit. **
