7 MEMORIES FROM NATIONAL CONFERENCE 2015 The Nebraska Crew together before and after Opening Ceremonies. The carpet in the hotel was very musical Dancing with the Amidons Shelly and Karen presenting Southern food Line dancing anyone? and friends One of my favorite things was being "Nashville, aka Music City, was the perfect place to learn and share ideas about the creative process of leading my students in singing, speaking, dancing, and playing. It was great to be surrounded by so many teachers who think and teach the way I do - Carolyn Stuwe Quotes about Conference able to collaborate and network with music teachers from around the country and around the world. It was always fun to see the students who performed. - Laura Malcolm 7
8 Snowflake Singing Lesson by Britney McCleery This vocal exploration is great for Primary Grades but my older students enjoying doing this activity from time to time as well. Before the Lesson, Create Coffee-Filter Snowflakes: Fold coffee filters in half several times Cut small sections out of the filter Unfold to reveal a beautiful snowflake Activity: 1. Throw the snowflake filter into the air and let it float down to the ground. As it is floating to the ground sing a descending ooo until the snowflake hits the ground 2. You can continue as a large group or give a snowflake to groups of two. One student throws the snowflake while the other sings it to the ground. Then switch roles. Winter Clock Rondo This song is based on Christmas Clock from the book Holidays and Special Days by Grace C. Nash and Janice Rapley. I changed the lyrics to adapt to a winter program. I like to use this song with my Kindergarten and 1 st Graders to assess SM singing. I also use it to assess playing a steady beat on different instruments. A Section: B Section: 8
9 C Section: D Section: Create a Rondo form (ABACADA) for performance. Possible Extensions: Consider playing a chord bordun (or an ostinato) with the A section. Consider playing non-pitched percussion instruments on the B, C, D Sections. Consider having the students create movements to go with B, C, D Sections. Possible Assessments: Sol/Mi/La Pitch Matching (Primary) Playing Triplets (Secondary) Rondo Form 9

12 Winter Break is Over Lesson by Rachel Stevens I teach this speech piece to my students in 2 nd, 3 rd, and 4 th grades. Process Speak poem in rhythm while patting the steady beat. The students will catch on quickly. Students join in and speak poem while patting the steady beat. Students can then respond with something they did over break. o I remind my students to think about something fun and not only the gifts they received. o I also encourage my students to respond in rhythm and not just speaking it. This poem gives the students an opportunity to share something they did with others, keeping it musical, short, and simple. 12
13 HELPFUL TIPS Do you have some helpful tips you would like to share? Please David Woods at to enter some tips for the next newsletter Winter break is the most unstructured time for our students. Most families don't get babysitters, so parents take off work or send their children to stay with family members. Our students stay up late, eat more junk food, and don't have a routine. Coming back to school in January can be quite the shift in gears I use the Iirst couple of weeks to review classroom rules and basics, such as mallet technique, singing posture, unpitched percussion technique, and body percussion. To get the students back on track for the rest of the school year, I like to incorporate active singing games or dances to get the kids up and moving. Doing this, helps get the wiggles out and eases the kids back into learning. - Rachel Stevens I've had trouble Iiguring out the best way to create seating arrangements in my classroom. I know I certainly don't want chairs, I've tried having students sit around the circle, Velcro strips on the Iloor, everything I could thing of. This year, I made 4 different colors of 6 various shapes and taped them to the ceiling in 4 rows. Students have an assigned shape they sit directly under. I can then have them get into color groups, shape groups, or rows for group work, and they're not playing with carpet squares or Velcro/tape pieces on the Iloor - Kate Konrad 13
14 GPOC Book Reviews Yoo-Hoo Ladybug by Mem Fox ISBN This I-Spy -like book allows students to find ladybug hidden amongst other things around the house. It is a perfect book for preschool or primary-age students for working on steady beat and S-M. There are a lot of ways to do this activity: I have used it with and without the Orff accompaniment. I have turned it into a game like Lucy Locket where one child hides a stuffed ladybug in the room and another tries to find it. The class sings the song louder when the finder is close and softer when the finder is far away from the ladybug. I have used it as a solo singing game (a la Doggie Doggie Where s Your Bone). One child sits in a chair facing away from the class. Under the chair is the lady bug. Class sings the song while one child is chosen to take the ladybug. After the song is completed, the person in the chair sings Where is the ladybug on S-M. Person with the ladybug sings Here I am. Person in the chair guesses who sang the response. 14

16 What Do You Do With An Idea? Reviewed by Sara Alswager Author: Kobi Yamada Illustrator: Mae Besom Age Range: 5 & beyond Publisher: Compendium, Inc., February 2014 Printing Details: Hardcover, FSC approved paper, soy ink, 36 pages ISBN: Themes: Inspiration, open-mindedness, creativity, intellectualism, clever and artistic illustrations Review: What Do You Do With An Idea? is nothing more than a children s picture book. However, I can t imagine continuing a career in the arts without knowing it exists. The text will be one of the most vulnerable and intelligent things you ve read in a long time, yet it is easily understood and internalized by children. The theme of the book is very specific: ideas are precious, take care of them. The story events, however, are broad and could enhance many objectives and activities in your classroom. It lends itself well to program usage because you can use vocal pieces that accent the words of the text, instrumental pieces that narrate its events, and movement that demonstrates events or the story s themes. With the book s message of creativity, be prepared to guide and nurture student-generated ideas. Take time to discuss the themes of this book before you use it to create music and movement, it has the ability to change your classroom climate. Summary: The book begins with a boy who has stumbled upon a small golden egg. The egg represents his idea. He is very timid at first, not understanding what it is or its purpose. As he tries to ignore it, the egg follows him. Soon he accepts his idea as a companion. However, its companionship brings challenges. Nourishing the idea takes food, shelter, and hard work. People laugh and don t understand the idea. Changes occur as the boy perseveres, the idea teaches him that it is okay to be different. Soon, the idea takes flight and changes the world. Favorite Quotes: I was afraid that if people saw it, they would laugh at it...and many of them did...but then I realized, what do they really know? This is MY idea, I thought. No one knows it like I do. And it s okay if it s different, and weird, and may be a little crazy. I liked being with my idea. It made me feel more alive, like I could do anything. It encouraged me to think big...and then, to think bigger. It shared its secrets with me. It showed me how to walk on my hands. Because, it said, it is good to have the ability to see things differently. 16
