Download or read book Composing and Performing a Short Musical Motif in a Third Grade Music Classroom written by Jana Sue Banman and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In my lesson demonstration video, I share a story with my students about the wind, "The Wind Blew" by Pat Hutchins. I first read the book from the piano and improvise short musical responses to each page of the book. This idea grew from the example Dr. Gurgel gave last summer, when she improvised to the children's book, "Where the Wild Things Are." I then share the story a second time by showing an iMovie version of the book that I had prepared in advance. This step served three purposes: it allowed all students to clearly see the pictures, it saved my voice from re-reading for multiple classes, and it showed students where they would add their short musical motifs. I had set up carts labeled with pictures from the book, each with several instruments. The students were then assigned to a cart to create a motif for a page from the book. After some improvising, students were asked to finalize their motif, and prepare to perform it with the iMovie. Following our first performance, students share ideas to improve their performance before trying it again. The Master's Program has impacted my teaching in many ways, large and small. I learned many things in Dr. Gurgel's classes that have directly impacted the way I teach. Learning about the four major methods in elementary music education, along with many great resources and examples of how to use them, helped me to understand the purpose and best uses of my resources and lessons. Additionally, the improvisation class had a big impact on me, and I have since had my students do more improvising than ever before. I was inspired by one of the first lessons Dr. Gurgel gave us where she used the book, "Pout, Pout Fish." I have since created many lessons using children's books, including the two lessons in this report. Dr. Gurgel's overall emphasis on imagination and creativity have become my most treasured and important goals in every encounter with music and students. Another important development has been that Dr. Payne's research, philosophy, and history classes helped me put my experiences into perspective. As I have reflected on all the past and present musicians, educators, philosophers, and researchers, it has truly been eye opening and inspiring. At this point in my career, I really needed and appreciated the perspective and inspiration. There were other important developments for me. In the very first class, I realized that I needed to learn Garage Band. I have done a lot more with Garage Band since, including using it to make backing tracks for an iMovie of student-composed rhythms, which my classes used to practice rhythms. In Symposium my first year, I was introduced to Little Kids Rock. I have since used their resources several times to find good lessons and songs for my 6th grade guitar unit. The experience we had of writing and performing a song gave me the inspiration and confidence to have my students do something similar as part of our guitar unit

Download or read book Line by Line written by Stephanie L. Standerfer and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-08-21 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Line by Line: Progressive Staff Method Arrangements for Elementary Music Literacy, author Stephanie L. Standerfer harnesses years of pedagogical expertise in a practical guide that promotes music learning by experience rather than imitation and memorization. Using well-known songs and instrumental accompaniments, this book contains a new practical method for teaching music literacy. The book's lesson plans first introduce concepts to the ear and body that allow students to internalize the sound and feeling before learning the symbol. Through this method, students learn and understand songs without the teacher modeling them and develop musicianship skills in the process. The arrangements include instrument parts for the typical complement of melodic instruments including glockenspiels, xylophones, and metallophones. Each arrangement includes at least one instrument part for more advanced learners, and one or more parts for students at lower skill levels. Music educators then complete individual lesson plans by teaching instrumental parts, again from notation instead of imitation. In this method, each song is taught over five to seven class periods as short segments of a regular class meeting, leaving time for other musical experiences such as listening lessons or folk dances. Taking every student into consideration, Line by Line also suggests ways to address specific student needs for those who need more time to process or who have specific diagnosed issues.
