Freeze Game to Franz Haydn
I took a classical song, written by Franz Haydn(1732-1809) and turned it into a wonderful game about sound and silence! Children will tip-toe,wiggle, jump and gallop to the beautiful music and then FREEZE! on the silences. Great way to teach them about rests. You can also use it to teach form as each new section has a different movement as well as instrumentation.

Left and Right
Left and Right is a song to help young folks learn their left and right orientation. The song features children singing about where the hands that point to the numbers 3 and 9 can help them orient left and right. Of course this is dependent on having a regular face clock (not digital). The song also has some echo potential and features Bill Prince with a clarinet obbligato in the background. Teachers have told me that it "really works". This song is from the Mixed Meters for Minors album by Clar

Come Play that Music (from the Play Cd see page 4-5)
Benefits: Auditory attention, processing, and conceptualization.
The children experience creating “fast,” “slow,” “loud,” and “soft” music.
The leader can divide the children into four groups, and give each group
an instrument associated with fast, slow, loud, or soft sounds. The children can also name things (animals, vehicles...) that fall into the four qualities.
Pause the CD between verses if the children need to refocus.

A song about the attitude one should develop to open themselves up to a good life. An attitude of gratitude opens lots of doors to people of all faiths and cultures. It is especially appropriate for the Thanksgiving season each fall. Thanksgiving should be expressed daily for living in such a wonderful country where the corporate body recognizes that we are a blessed people in a blessed nation.

Making Inferences Song - Inference
This an original audio recording about making inferences. This song could be used in conjunction with any lesson about the skill of making inferences. I've used it in the past after an introduction to inferences. My advice is to parse the song into phrases and ask the class to examine their meaning. Then use quotes from the song when students are attempting the skill.
Having taught first grade for nearly a decade, I've realized the power of music and its impact on children. It encourages

Spring Is A-Comin'
Based on an old "call and response" folk song, children can immediately participate by singing the response of "oh yeah" after every line. This song can then be used as a large motor activity, having the children clap/jump/hop/stomp etc on "oh yeah."The song is also a "zipper" song, meaning that it can be used for the children to add in their ideas of what signs outside in nature let them know that spring is coming, or they can add in their ideas of what they like to do in the spring. The song
