Soundtrack of my Life Project
This is my FAVORITE project to do with middle schoolers. I have seen other adaptations of this, but this document is created by me with my own original ideas, sequence and rubric. In my 'Soundtrack of my Life' unit, we begin a 4 day course with an introduction where we listen to the song 'I Was Here' by Beyonce. I give students a sheet with the lyrics printed on them and ask students to, as we're listening, highlight/underline/circle/star one or more important verse that stands out to them. Afte

Songwriting Project
This song writing project has been a hit with my middle school choir classes for the past couple of years! They love getting creative and sharing their songs with the class.

African Culture: Music and Dance
This engaging activity will have your students out of their seats as they work together to produce polyrhythmic music and then use two brief video lessons to attempt basic African dance moves. At the end, students watch two brief video clips of African toddlers dancing with the isolated body motions that the class just struggled to imitate. The form and function of music and dance in Africa are completely different from European-based cultures. So, the lesson provides valuable insights into c

Whitacre TED Talks Worksheet
I came up with this activity and icebreaker as a good first day of school, or first day of music class activity for middle school students.

I thought of a few ideas for a bulletin board that can connect with this activity and make your music room look pretty and creative. Read bel

Choir Distance Learning - Piano Unit (3-5 Weeks)
Piano 101 teaches students everything they need to know to look up chords online and accompany themselves on the piano on any song of their choice. It does not teach them how to read notes, but rather how to create any major or minor chord. I have found that this is something students really WANT to learn. This course will open a world of possibilities for your students and encourage them to continue music making at home!Of course it is better to have a keyboard at home, but students can learn t
