All Hands On-line!

The Teaching Studio
Written By Ann Germani

Learning music is so “hands on!” Using extra resources and props in the lesson can reinforce conceptual learning and help make strong connections between sound, symbol and musical expression. This special, home delivery was made to each of my students at the beginning of the teaching year, for them to have “on hand” at their on-line lessons.

Music Manipulatives make learning fun!

  • A Pointer - to track and find things

  • Pencil and Coloured Pencils - to mark important places

  • Sticky Note Flags to to identify pieces in a book

  • Soft Markers / Small Character toys (4-6) to place on staffs or keyboard

  • Laminated Whiteboards and Dry-erase Markers

  • Magnetic “ladybug” to move around a whiteboard or between a page

  • 2 Dice for music composition and learning games

  • Rhythm Cups for cup tapping along to backing tracks

  • A Dictation Book - as an assignment & practise journal - for composing

  • Stickers - for a REWARD - for marking important places in the music

  • Extras! - An “egg shaker” and Finger puppets
