My Studio



This is what my studio looked like for the school year 2009-2010.

Interval Kicks


Kick Off Ball
Summer 2010

This is another game I created. I would call out two note names and the student would have to kick the ball the same number as the interval. i.e. "C up to G." That's a 5th so the student would get 5 kicks.



But, then all that rope was just too tempting, so the student's decided they just had to play tug of war. Here's the little ones...



...and the big ones battling it out.

Water Balloon Staff

Water Balloon Staff
I made this one up. Greg staked a staff on the ground with rope.
Volunteers stood as notes. Balloon throwers had to point to the note I called out and aim their balloon at that person.










At this point it was a free for all.

Melodic Ear Training


Kick Off Ball
Summer 2010

I made some cards with melodic reading patterns which I played on the piano. 3 volunteers did body motions for high, middle, and low notes. I got this idea from an awesome old piano game book "Musical Games and Activities" by Gloria Burnett Scott.

Music Spelling



I didn't take many photos while teaching, but I thought I'd share what few I did.
This is from a Kick Off Ball I held for my piano students during the Summer of 2010.
We played a Team Spelling game I made up. They split into pairs and each team had to find note cards hidden around the room. They then had to "spell" words with the staff notes and run to write the words on the board. I kept tally of how many words each team got to declare the winner.





Love little boys!
