Note: This product does not contain any audio files. Forget the March Madness for basketball, this lesson is all about March Madness for music composers! Using a bracket system (much like the basketball tournament), the class will listen to composers "face-off" against each other and vote for a favorite. Composers from four musical periods are represented: Baroque, Classical, Romantic, and Impressionist!. Please be aware that this product includes the Composer Bracket Worksheet and a list of music selections for each composer. This product does not contain ANY audio files! The teacher will need to do a simple internet search for the audio selections listed and play from his/her internet connection. We hope you enjoy! And may the best composer win!

The best 2024 March Madness memes to get you ready for the big tourney and the inevitable bracket busters.

First graders have been really enjoying our unit on mallet instruments! We have been focusing on mallet grip, basic technique, and playing on cue. These skills will prepare them for the Orff pieces they will play in 1st - 5th grade! They have had a blast participating in activities from Artie Almeida's Mallet Madness and Mallet Madness Strikes Again - LOVE her stuff! Since we don't have quite enough for the students to have their own instrument, they have been pairing up with a partner. One activity that they loved was echoing rhythm patterns on their instruments. Since they just completed a unit on basic rhythm patterns, this was a great connection! First, I would play various rhythm patterns on my drum and they would echo that pattern on their instruments (in pentatonic). Then, I would say a pattern using syllables and they would echo that as well. Next, they tried this same activity with their partner calling out the rhythms to them.  (A note to Orff people: We are still working on getting those fingers wrapped around the mallets. I use the "pinch and wrap" technique but they revert back quickly.)  Another favorite mallet activity used hoola hoops! I found this fun activity on YouTube. One student is chosen as the leader and they step into the 3 hoola hoops randomly. The other students must play their instruments according to what color the leader chooses. The xylophones would play if the leader stepped into the orange hoola hoop, the metallophones would play when the leader stepped into purple, and the glockenspiels would be yellow. Sometimes the leader would try to be tricky and step in two colors at the same time. This was a great way for me to assess their mallet techniques while also giving the students practice following the cues of a "director."  Here the students are demonstrating the correct technique for removing and replacing the bars on their instruments. First graders LOVE the mallet instruments!

There are a lot of great reasons to teach hand clap games to your children. Here are 20 of the reasons I teach them to my children.

If you have students who need a little more practice building major and minor chords, I've designed these worksheets for use in the coming month: Students are given the root note of the chord on the first cloverleaf and are asked to build the rest of the chord in the remaining leaves. You can print individual sheets for each student, or laminate each sheet and reuse it for multiple students. There is a major and minor worksheet. They are available under the printable section of my blog. This is my first attempt at designing a worksheet and offering it for general use, so please let me know what you think and if you have any suggestions!
