Making magic happen in the general music classroom. Dusting off the site (and my classroom! One Prop, Many Uses. July 20, 2014. I’m surfacing from the depths of new motherhood for a moment to type up this post. The idea has been floating around in my head for a while, but I have been trapped under a baby for the past 11 weeks. OK, maybe not literally the entire 11 weeks, but it can sure feel like that! But what a beautiful little dictator she is! Here are just a few ways in which I use the hoops in class.

Making magic happen in the general music classroom. Laquo; 2 Meter. May 4, 2014. I am so sorry for the silence here. This have been a bit hectic. There are the usual end of the year details to take care of, plus my concert is this Thursday. Yikes! On top of that, I have been working to hire a sub for my maternity leave. I may be a bit possessive of my program. And picky. Go figure 🙂. It is crazy to believe that my little one is due in just 19 days! Cross your fingers that I make it through my concert!

Making magic happen in the general music classroom. Laquo; Pintrest Goldmine. Under the Sea: Vocal Exploration. March 27, 2014. Spring Break is starting to wind down. Boo! I’m feeling under the weather, recovering from an untimely bout with a stomach virus (not fun when both pregnant and away from home! I decided to do some sitting-on-my-butt work, namely organizing clip art and digital classroom materials. For our Spring concert. I plan to utilize these warm ups for them next week.

2 Meter | Music Room Magic
https://musicroommagic.wordpress.com/2014/04/04/2-meter
Making magic happen in the general music classroom. Laquo; Under the Sea: Vocal Exploration. April 4, 2014. There are many songs that can be used to focus on two-meter. This year I have primarily been using Rocky Mountain and Deedle Deedle Dumpling.
