First Year of Music Activities and Games for Elementary Aged Children

My First Year of Music is a special bundle of music lessons that every child should begin with!

In it I have included some of my most simple and engaging lessons with videos covering a lesson on:

~ Rhythm and how there are rhythms all around us if we only listen.

~ The Orchestra and all the different instrument families.

~ The Piano and a deep look into what it looks like inside the piano as well as how the instrument evolved over time.

~ The Voice is a short lesson how we sing.

~ Concert Etiquette is included and gives families simple ways to practice attending a concert, as well as how to behave when we go to concerts.

As a bonus, this bundle includes:

~ A "Musical Landscape" lesson which explores the sound of the guitar, violin and piano.

~ One month Listening Calendar - 30 days of quality songs to listen to with active listening activities.

~ An in-depth look at Camille Saint-Saens "Carnival Of The Animals" with colouring and sketching listening guides.

~ A famous composer coloring booklet featuring 12 popular composers and some interesting facts about each of them.

~ A Weekly practice chart for those that need some motivation and a few helpful tips to practice smarter.

This bundle can cover 2-5 weeks of musical education activity.*

*Included in each 30 minute lesson is a "Setting The Stage" section which introduces the children to what they are about to learn followed by a more informative teaching time called "Diving Deeper", and followed by a hands on "Activity Time."

Each lesson has book suggestions as well as listening suggestions that correspond with the theme of the lesson!

Within each lesson you will find the option of using a link or a QR code that links you directly to a short video or live performance featuring music by different composers and artists.

Each lesson gives you a list of materials needed at the beginning of the lesson which usually includes many household items that a classroom or house would already have.

One important note is that the use of a music platform such as Apple music, Spotify or YouTube is a must when facilitating these musical lessons!
