Rock and Roll History - Part 1 - Fill in the Blank
I made this handout for my 6th, 7th, and 8th grade general music classes. It's perfect for introducing Rock Music history. This is part 1 of 2--The 1950s and 1960s. Feel free to edit however you like! The history and the facts themselves are pretty simplified, as this is just an introduction to rock history for middle schoolers. I tried hard to be true to the origins of rock in the U.S., particularly honoring black musicians from the 1940s and 1950s. I have updated it over time. If you have a ce

Order of the Sharps and Flats - Key Signatures in Music - Music Theory
This is a single page handout for explaining the Order of the Sharps and Flats. It should accompany the "How to determine Key Signatures in Music" packet. This is a visual guide to learning keys. The most common visualization is the Circle of 5ths, however the Order of the Sharps and Flats is another way to see it. Many students struggle with the concepts behind the Circle of 5ths, hopefully this method will help those students to understand!

Music Appreciation (Example of first day PPT)
This is an example of what to include in your first lecture. (It's probable that your principal will have you use ice breakers the first day.) Make sure to look over and think about how you want that first day to go. (I decided to go directly into early material and ended with an exit card.) If it's your first year, make sure that you've included everything that your particular school required. **It's best (and easiest) to use the same headings that your school lists.** This makes it easier to g

Writing Key Signatures
This worksheet is used best as a guided note taking sheet while teaching students to write key signatures on the correct lines and spaces. Page 1 is writing sharp key signatures, page 2 is writing flat key signatures.
Each key signature builds upon the one before it. By the end of the page, you will have each sharp or flat in a different color but will have complete key signatures from 1 sharp or flat to all 7!

My own school music file contains more than one script good money paid for that is literally a direct reading of a popular children’s book w
