A couple weeks ago, another music blogger (Jen from Noteworthy by Jen ) asked me if I might do a linky party to review the resolutions many of us made at the end of 2014. You can read that post here. Since we are over halfway through 2015, I thought this was a great idea, so I'm creating another linky party. Anyone who linked up in December can link up now, OR if you didn't link up but made resolutions you'd like to review, you're also welcome to join the party! Directions about how to link up are at the end of this post. So here's how I've done so far in 2015! Personal: …
Today I'm once again linking up with Tracy King/ The Bulletin Board Lady at mrskingrocks.blogspot.com to write about a summer project: pool noodle rhythms! My summer project is actually inspired by the one and only Tracy King! I found this awesome blog post about pool noodle rhythms on her blog and decided I had to try it out. There are so many reasons I think her idea is fabulous, but to list a few: It's a GREAT activity for those tactile learners! It's a wonderful way to show length of rhythms. It's a great way to practice meter/ time signature. It's a brilliant way to do gr…

Hi everyone! I'm excited to be the first stop on a blog hop with other music teachers, called "Musical Road Trip"! The idea of a blog hop is that each stop will be about a different musical topic. The first stop will be with me, in Ohio, about rhythm! If you are a blogger and/or TpT seller, make sure to read the directions at the end of the post to link up a blog post and/or a rhythmic product for sale! Rhythm is such an expansive topic. I've blogged many times about different aspects of rhythm, but today I thought I'd blog about different ways to approach reviewing and pra…

Hi everyone! I hope you are enjoying summer...or are very close to getting out of school! So I'm excited to be linking up with Tracy King at Mrs. King Rocks for her Summer Project Linky. I'm hoping to link up as often as I can, so I can force myself to prepare all of those ideas I've learned about at workshops, classes, or blogs, for use in my classroom this upcoming year! This week I am blogging about solfa cubes. I think I learned this from Joan Litman, my amazing Level III Kodaly instructor at Capital University....but I don't remember for sure. (And I just found out about thi…

Hi everyone! So I've had a few of you request lyrics for a video I recently posted to my Facebook page. I figured I'd post it here so that everyone can read! Every year, my principal asks me to put together a skit for the end of the year, to either perform live at the end-of-the-year assembly, or record and show to the students and parents. The purpose of the skit is to promote reading throughout the summer. I had several teachers request that we perform "All about the books," based on Meghan Trainor's "All about the bass." I found this skit recorded by the Nashvi…
