Happy Spring!
It seems like March break came and went so fast I hardly knew what happened. What with a week on the sunny beaches of Mexico, a quick trip to Alberta to see my grandson, Jakob, piano parties and filling orders to go to Korea, the whole month has just flown by. Thanks to Ok, kyu huh for arranging the order to Korea, I know the teachers will be grateful to get their games.
I trust and hope that you are able to take some time off to rest and relax as we head into spring, summer and year end.
I wish you all the best as you prepare for the end of another teaching year. As we know, recital preparations always create added excitement for young musicians.
So far this month I've played Shoot for the Stars, Don't put your Apples, Shoot Out, and Weak and Strong Beats. Lots of theory concepts are covered in the last few months of teaching but a quick game always puts the fun in learning these concepts.
Game of the Month - Give it a Rest!
This month's feature game is Give it a Rest!
The game as three levels each with progressing difficulty.
and offers students the opportunity to determine they need to place several rests. Give it a Rest! Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 take students through the first steps of rest replacement before moving them on to adding rests to the written page.
To Market To Market - Teachers Notebook
Do you have some great teaching aids, printables and resources but no where to post them?
The Teachers Notebook is a great website where you can post as many items as you like. It's also been a great way to advertise Solo Time Music Games.
Here you'll find the fun Giant Floor Circle of 5th's. My level 2 and 3's have had a great time building this game on the floor. We've also used it as a race during our class parties this month.
Keep on Counting and practice slowly! (I know it doesn't always work but it's worth saying as a reminder,)
Cheers!
