Materials for Teachers of Music
General music teachers: as a teacher of general music at the elementary and middle school levels, I have over time developed methods for teaching which reflect my strengths. Following the Kodály concept of music education, I design materials focusing on ear training and "inner hearing." They may work for you; they might not fit your particular style. In any case, feel free to browse. :)
Accompaniment Tracks & Orff Arrangements
Check back soon for sample Listening Maps, PowerPoints on many music concepts, and manipulative materials to practice reading pitch and rhythm notation. If you need something developed, call on me! :)
To any and all teachers: if you are seeking music to support a particular lesson on any subject, I can write lyrics containing specific information you would like your students to retain. Songs can "piggyback" on well-known children's folk songs (I promise to choose words carefully to reflect the natural flow of the melody) or we can use all-original material.
