Songs For Classroom Teachers
If you are a classroom teacher seeking music to support your lesson, I can write a custom song with information you provide.
Melodies can be completely original, or can "piggyback" on well-known children's songs or popular songs. I'll use the musical form of the song to help students organize and connect information for quick recall later.
Try this out: Three Cloud Boogaloo!
Any school subject is fair game...Here are a few piggyback parodies I wrote for student assemblies:
Bullying: Feelings Inside
Ecology/Recycling: Who Put The Cans...
School Safety: Da Don't Run Run
Here's one for Carden's first-ever pep rally for our basketball team. Taking It To The Hoop!
If you have already started lyrics or would like to expand upon and facilitate student writing, collaboration is definitely a possibility. The following song was co-written with my fifth grade students at Carden School, and was a hit at morning assembly. Carden Pride Rap
A class song for a Tempe, AZ elementary school. We Are The Mustangs!
How about Phoenix? NEW! Blue & Gray
Maybe Gilbert! NEW! Meridian, High Noon!
Younger kids can contribute to building a song as well. This one was a quilt of ideas from first graders. Best School In The World
If you want to toast or roast one of your fellow teachers, you might consider a Custom Song. For one of my co-workers: Miss Gill
Don't forget graduation! Here is a song written based on classmate's memories and conversations. How We Spent Our Days
