1) Review, review, review!
2) Don't sing WITH the kids- they can do it on their own.
3) Staying firm with the rules allows for smoother transitions.
Musically Yours,

We are in our third/fourth week of music classes and the students are working on repertoire. In order for the musical literacy lessons to take place, the students must first learn a bunch of songs. We currently have learned 3-4 chants with 5-6 songs. The kids are working hard and so am I! Pre-K and Kinder are working on beat and vocal exploration. I allow students to come to the board to draw their own vocal lines. They use my pointer to point to beat icons or trace their vocal exploration. The kiddos love it and I love being able to sit back while they play teacher. First and Second grade students are working on building So-Mi-La so we learned the song "Doggie, Doggie". It allows students to sing a solo at the end of the song. The 'doggie' in the middle of the circle has to aurally identify the soloist. Things I've learned this week:
1) Review, review, review! 2) Don't sing WITH the kids- they can do it on their own. 3) Staying firm with the rules allows for smoother transitions. Musically Yours, Miss Reyna

Miss ReynaI grew up in Brownsville, TX and graduated from Homer Hanna High School. I have loved singing ever since I joined choir in 5th grade. After years of singing in choir, my hard work payed off with a scholarship to the University of Texas at Brownsville. I graduated in Spring 2012 with a Bachelor’s in Music Education EC-12, with an emphasis in Voice.I am a fully certified Kodaly teacher and looking to get my second certification in the Orff-Schulwerk process. I am qualified to teach all music to all grades (K-12) but I love the elementary level. Archives
