Hi, Amber. I haven't used his methods because I teach older students, but I have had a workshop that he led. I thought it was phenomenal and I agree with his educational philosophy 100%. I did get two of his books and also a movement dvd, and have incorporated them when I can. I don't think you will go wrong with his materials.

Fierabend has a book called "First Steps in Music" That tells you exactly what to do in each class. I strongly suggest also getting the music CDs that go with it, "Old Joe Clark, Had little Rooster, and one more???? His emphasis on repeating songs (way more than I used to) and on singing short solos, improved my kid's singing dramatically. I have u...See More

Also, you can play Around the World with the one-note flashcards. Students sit in a circle. One student stands behind their neighbor and the teacher flashes the first card for those two students. Whoever says the note name first wins that round and moves down to stand behind the next student. It is a fast moving game and everybody has to pay attent...See More

It is easy to make the card with the notes on it, I recommend making the cards with all quarters, all halves, all eighths, etc, Then advancing on to mixing the rhythms, make sure they are simple rhythms. Also make sure that the students have rests in there. I hope this helped!
Hello,
I'm writing a paper about music education and I need people who have experience in the field to be my sources! Can anyone provide any information that I could use?

What specifically are you looking for? You can check the American Orff Schulwerk Association website. I believe they have several articles pertaining to the topic. Try AOSA dot org

Yes of course! I have experience working as a substitute teacher for middle school music education. I put on a choir concert in a week, and go those kids in shape! f you need any help at all, please feel free to ask! the main points are: be relatable, reliable, and professional. Although I was young in my career, the experiences I got from it will ...See More
I retired from teaching about 7 years ago and must have given away my choral music and choral idea binder. I have a friend who was hired a couple of months ago to take over a middle school music program. The choral students have never had a real music teacher and they do not want to learn to read music or sing in parts. I suggested teaching them a ...See More

Thank you, LIs.

One great one that I have used is called "When I Sing". It works great because the students can learn it very easily and can split up to even four parts! I just taught this to home schooled 11 and 12 year olds and it went really well. We actually just had our concert this past thursday and it was as hit!
Long-time tnetter looking for help finding a source for durable but inexpensive simple musical instruments. I'm a former teacher now heading up a nonprofit working with kids in poor rural villages. On my next trip I'd like to take down 100 or so kazoos. Does anyone have a recommendation, either for a brand of kazoo or an online source?

Thanks Lis!

This is where I purchased my kazoos. They were much cheaper because they were seconds with misprints on them but that was no problem for us. They are durable plastic, not the brittle kind. https://kazoos.com/products/factory-second-kazoos-bag-of-25
