General Music Classwork
Suggested Activities
Activities Galore
First of all let me start by saying that I miss your children very much and want so much to see them back in the classroom so we can continue to sing, explore, dance and play music together.
Each section of this page is designed for different grade levels and activities that correspond to those ages.
Pick and choose from these activities to give your child a bit of music enrichment and exploration. These are not intended to replace regular music curriculum but as a way to make music instruction more accessible to those not trained in the area:)
Please contact me with any questions and feel free to share videos with me @good_music114 on twitter!
Hugs to all!
K-2 Pick and choose from the below activities. There are many great choices and these can be repeated, as well. This is not meant to be a replacement for music instruction but simply some activities that can occupy your little ones until they return to school and we can resume curricular music education.

If students in 5th grade still have their recorder packets, they may choose to practice those songs as a review. Remind them that if they get stuck on a note, they may refer back to the beginning of the packet to the fingering chart.

If students in 6th grade have an instrument at home, there are a ton of tutorials they can look up on youtube to play along with.
Goodrich 6th graders only may continue to build their homemade instruments to turn in when they return to school. If they have any questions, they may absolutely contact me and I can help!
