Looking for a differentiated and exciting way to practice reading rhythms? Use Pop Play Alongs! Obtain enough basketballs, tennis balls, non-pitched instruments, or use body percussion, and use the provided slides to perform rhythms with some of your favorite songs!
I use these to reinforce reading half note, whole note, quarter note, and eighth note notation. In addition, we are able to discuss use of measure, double bar line, and more! This is a great way to get your kids reading rhythm!
…
In this set you will get the self-advancing PowerPoint for the following songs:
“Jingle Bell Rock” by Bobby Helms
“It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year” - by Andy Williams
“Sleigh Ride” sung by the Ronettes
…
In addition, you will receive detailed lesson plans for 5th grade using Georgia GPS standards, National Music Standards, and National Core Arts standards that are ready to print and use, and yet still editable for your individual teaching needs.
You will also receive rehearsal versions of each PowerPoint presentation that do not self-advance so that you may rehearse the rhythm patterns with students before performing.
…
NOTE: You will NOT receive the audio files (this would be illegal!), but I have directed you on where to purchase the files on iTunes and how to attach them to PowerPoint.
…
See a screencast here on how to attach audio files to PowerPoint for this file and rhythm basketball files.
Neither Jingle Bell Rock nor Sleigh Ride mention the word “Christmas” so these may be perfect for those who cannot use the word Christmas in their lessons.
Jingle Bell Rock uses the “syncopa” syncopation rhythm. There are two versions of “Sleigh Ride” - one that uses sixteenth notes, and sixteenth/eighth note combinations. I also included an easier version without sixteenth notes. Please download the preview to see all rhythms included.

This set is all the materials you will need to create a Pitch Hill Bulletin Board! In addition, there are many printables to post for general solfege practice.
In Pitch Hill, each solfège note is a character with his or her own story. For example, Do is a Boxer! He LOVES to box! He wears special head gear and boxing gloves to protect him and when we sing the note that is Do, we show our hands like boxing gloves. Do is very strong and will catch Re if she falls off the roof! (You will have to purchase to hear her story!)
Pitch Hill is an engaging method to teach Solfege to elementary music students. You can learn more about Pitch Hill.
…
Printables include:
Characters with no labels - picture of each Pitch Hill character, one per page.
Characters with solfege labels - picture of each Pitch Hill character with solfege name

Description of Lessons
1st, 2nd, and 3rd Grade - Students will go through normal first day procedures (rules, etc.) and then practice a fun dance song so they can practice what a “space bubble” is. Then students will be introduced to a fun “nonsense” song with a wonderful cup activity. The game is differentiated in levels for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. 3rd Grade plans also include an additional ice breaker game that is great for internalizing rhythm.
These lessons are meant to hook my students from the first day. I use the lessons to review things like singing voice, form, tempo, etc. I find that if I can give my class a reputation of “fun” then the students will buy into any lesson I give them in the future! These lessons are designed for my 45 minutes classes but you could modify them for 30 min or hour classes as needed.
…
This is meant to be a guide for your individual situation. Substitutions for any part of the lesson is acceptable. Additional items you need to teach the lesson directly as written that are NOT included.
Class set of cups (plastic or disposable from the grocery store work).
Book (optional): Down by the Bay

Ready to start a Composer/Musician of the Month but don’t have a plan ready? Look no further! This is the perfect resource for your lessons on Stephen Schwartz, composer of the famous musical, WICKED. In addition to his broadway works, he also did film music such as Enchanted!
…
This set includes:
Lesson Plans covering mini-lessons to presented at the beginning or end of your lesson as a “Musician of the Month” activity. These mini lessons (meant to be about 10 minutes in length) are curated video links of the featured person’s music meant to serve as the foundation of discussion. No worksheets or manipulatives are included.
Bulletin Board printables including information about the composer, definitions appropriate to the particular composer (i.e. Musical Theater, Concerto, Composer, Conductor, Musician).
Versions using both “Theater” and “Theatre”
YouTube links to engaging videos highlighting the composer’s works.
…
This set will get you with a Lesson Plan that is ready to print and yet can still be modified to suite your needs. The composer units focus on a different composer or musician each month and the lesson takes about 5-10 minutes of the lesson time. I do the lesson at the very beginning of class and focus on listening, discussing music with appropriate terminology, and connecting music to the “real world.” Each lesson comes with 5 mini-lessons and links to the YouTube videos used in the lesson.
In addition, you will also receive printouts for your bulletin boards with blank pages that can also be modified to suite your needs. I display the current composer’s information in my room and then move his or her information to the hallway as a running list for students. Pictures of this can be found on my blog.
Each lesson plan includes standards that are checked off for the GPS (Georgia Performance Standards). I have also included alternative National Music Standards Checklists and National Core Arts Standards Checklists.

Are you struggling with teaching solfége or looking for a fun, new method for teaching solfége to elementary students? Then look no further! Pitch Hill is for you!
This is part of the PowerPoint Bundle!
NOTE: This file is included in the PITCH HILL MEGA BUNDLE
In Pitch Hill, each solfège note is a character with his or her own story. For example, Do is a Boxer! He LOVES to box! He wears special head gear and boxing gloves to protect him and when we sing the note that is Do, we show our hands like boxing gloves. Do is very strong and will catch Re if she falls off the roof! (You will have to purchase to hear her story!)
This PowerPoint was created to accompany the Pitch Hill method of teaching solfege.
also includes a version compatible with Google Slides™
…
The resource includes the following:
Graphics of Sol and Mi: Use to introduce or review characters!
The Sol Song
The Mi Song
Practice identifying Sol and Mi with note heads.
Practice identifying Sol and Mi using quarter note, beamed eighth notes, and quarter rest.
Pages use both note heads to isolate pitch and traditional notation to perform higher discrimination of pitch when rhythm is a factor.
Instructions on using each page in the notes section.
Blank pages and editable notes for you to create your own patterns!
includes a keynote version (only for mac computers)*
