We have 2 music teachers at our school. Sometimes, because of lack of subs, we are called into another classroom and one music teacher will have to put 2 music classes together (50-60 students). Does anyone have any good music education videos you can recommend for these times?

This is what we currently use: The HBO Composer series (with 3-5) Lomax the Hound of Music (K-2) Peter and the Wolf (K-3) Stomp (3-5) Little Amadeus (K-1)

We're starting to get to the point where classes have seen all of them.

I wish they would make the whole first season of Lomax available...that would be great...it's almost like a music class in itself! Lots of interaction.

Jean/sub I am running into the same problem in some of the schools where I sub music - not enough laptops to go around and the teacher takes his/her laptop home, so it's unavailable for my use. Another dvd you can use when you are presenting on your own laptop is the jazz Wynton Marsalis dvd. I cannot remember the name of the dvd (I believe that he has seve...See More
