This week I start the first of three camps I will be doing this summer. This week it's MUSIC OLYMPICS! This is the third year I have run this camp and it's still just as popular. I've added some new games and activities so it will be fresh for some of my repeat campers. I'll be sure to post about some of the things we do and shortly I will have those camp plans also available for purchase. In the meantime, here's a look at some of the signs I made for the week. Here's the sign that is set up at the registration table when campers first check in on Monday. It measures 30" x 40" so it's nice and big and makes a statement when they arrive. I cut the letters and music notes out with my die-cutting machine and cut the rings out by tracing around a dish or two. I also laminated it which helps it to look brand new even after three years! If you've followed my blog, you know that I also like to use signs to designate the area of learning as we go throughout the week. The following signs are 15" x 20" and also laminated. I use packing tape to attach them to metal garden posts around the play area outside. This sign is used in the area where we work on note identification. All kinds of games and activities happen to teach and reinforce notes on the grand staff. Depending upon the level of the students I have in camp, we may focus on just the treble clef or both the treble and the bass. This sign obviously designates the area where we work on rhythm. We do loads of creative activities to work on recognizing note values, working on steady beat and working to build measures with the correct time signature. This sign is placed in the area where we work on music terminology. We work on about 20 different terms and by the end of the week, they know them well. It's great when they're having so much fun they don't know they're learning! I also like to teach intervals - both melodic and harmonic. This area is loads of fun and the campers really love all the activities we do. Lastly, at every camp, I always have this rest sign set up under a canopy. This is a place we just get out of the sun and sit on our beach towels. We also have our snack in this area. Currently my living room is piled high with stuff that's ready to put out first thing in the morning. It will be a busy week, but a really fun one and I'm looking forward to it. If you're putting on a camp this summer, I'd love to hear about it!

What a great filing system. I’m interested in the treble clef on the side of the tall cabinet. What do you use it for? A game? counting goals? This is a much-loved game in my studio! It’s one of the first ones I made and students don’t mind a bit that it’s all constructed of […]

Check out these 6 first piano lesson ideas for kids ages 3-9 and get access to your FREE piano key group printables!

We just completed Day 2 of Music Olympics Camp so I thought I would just sneak in a few pictures and give you some game ideas. Maybe they will help you with a group class idea for your "kick-off" this fall. The premises of the camp is to drill them in note identification, rhythm, musical terms and recognizing simple melodic and harmonic intervals. We've been working on those areas using different games/events. On Friday we have the actual Olympic Games where their parents come and watch. I have two teams of 3 kids for a total of 6 kids this week - one girl and 5 boys so you can imagine the activity level! On the first day, each team made a team flag and came up with their own team "national anthem" (After all, we have to have a song to sing if they make it to the podium during the medal ceremony!). Then we were on to the games... The first one I named Rhythm Toss. I took a piece of plywood and cut it in half (ok, so my husband did the cutting...) and then put 5 holes about 8" round in each one. A bit of paint and some notes/rests and the boards were ready to go. My husband also rigged a way for them to stand up. I wanted to use these boards with bean bags and have the kids "build" measures depending upon which hole they were able to get their bean bag in. The goal was to be the first team to build at least 4 measures. The catch was that they couldn't have any beats/rests left over. If they did, they had to build another measure! They absolutely loved this game! They would get so excited when a team member would get just the note they needed. It also helped to reinforce the number of beats each note/rest has. Because the next event was to drill them in musical terms, I added a twist to this game by having them identify a term before they were allowed to throw a bean bag. This helped when we got to this game... Terminology Concentration! This is a jumbo memory game, but instead of finding two similar terms, they had to match up the term with it's own definition. There are 20 terms and 20 definitions so I put them together in rows 8x5. Each person had the chance to turn over two cards to try a get a match, but their team could help. (If anyone is interested in a pdf of all the cards and definitions, let me know and I'll post them on my website.) The last game I'll show you today uses the magnetic staff board I've posted about...Staff Word Challenge! I put together cards with words using the musical alphabet and each team had to race down and place a note on the staff before running to tag the next team member who would add the second note or "letter" to eventually build the entire word. We did this on the first day and I actually found that the kids had a bit of confusion building the word from left to right. Several times the kids would just put the note on the staff above another note rather than to the right of it. I decided to turn the problem into a discussion about harmonic versus melodic. It solved the problem and also helped set us up for our Interval event which was next!

Ideally every student would be perfectly motivated to practice consistently for the sheer joy of making music and the intrinsic satisfaction that comes from mastering challenging tasks. But real life is not this picture perfect. I use a variety of short term and long term practice incentives throughout their years of music study to recognize and track progress and reward accomplishments. Some students respond well to checklists, others love positive peer recognition and competition, while some will soar to great heights for a coveted prize basket item or treat. Following are some of the incentive programs I have enjoyed using with my students to help guide their success in a fun way.
