It's been a while since I posted on here but I am looking for some ideas for what to do with a 1st grader who cannot participate in holiday songs for our winter concert. I need something alternative that the student can work on independently with little to no guidance from me. Any suggestsions???

I give mine books to read, color by note pages/instrument coloring pages, memory card games with notes/instruments on them, easy word finds, etc.

Same as Garland. And I usually send them with the materials to the media center because they usually aren't allowed to stay in the classroom while we are singing the music.

I don't know about liability insurance, but if you are starting a music studio with very small children, check with Kindermusik. I'm sure they cover that specific issue in their training package.

Hello all! In a couple of weeks, I will begin my first classroom music teaching position. I have tried to cover all of my bases, but just wanted to reach out to ensure that I have everything I need to help my year run as smoothly as possible. Does anyone have any helpful hints regarding preparation of items/procedures needed for a music classroom? ...See More

Have your rules and procedures posted, have a plan if disciplinary action is required, and a plan to reward good behavior. (my kids loved to earn 5 minutes of free choice at the end of class). I just found a really good book my Michael Linsin - about classroom management for specials teachers. It is really helpful in many areas. My two cents is to ...See More

Ditto all the above. Also, go over the rules/consequences at the beginning of each class for the first two or three lessons so that they have no excuse for not knowing the rules. Then if ANYbody does break a rule, quickly give the consequence you have set up but without any show of emotion. Do not spend any time on the consequence with the child, j...See More

Obviously, it is someone from a different culture. I would just reply that you only teach 1 hour a week, or whatever your procedures normally are. It is pretty weird and a little spooky though. you could just reply that you won't be able to do this.

It's probably too late for my response, but I would not respond AT ALL to the email. It is very fishy to me. They probably saw your post and now they are trying to get more info from you. The money is a way to entice you to respond. I hope you have not! You cannot be too careful these days.

Kimonos are in right now, or a shirt with an overlay of some sort.

I like to wear a dress at knee length - no shorter, especially on a stage. I think it is important to wear black and something not too showy because after all it is about the children not the conductor. A dress is better for a bigger size than trousers. A jacket over is good too.

The Music teacher at my school uses it and LOVES it. The students love it as well. She teaches K -1 but I believe we use it up through 5th grade.
Lis
I love it, too! I have not bought the curriculum although it looks wonderful. I use the DVD's and other resources often in my class. The website is fun to use, too!

Thin texture - just one thing going on. A single melody line.
Thick texture - many different layers of sound going on at the same time.

Next time, do your own homework.
