Class Experience

In this fun and active music class, students will learn musical concepts while celebrating fall. 

We will explore rhythm and counting beats using rhythm syllables – Ta, Ti-ti, etc. Learners will be able to identify rhythm syllables and clap them with their hands. Learners will also make a simple musical instrument: a corn shaker. Supplies needed include an empty water bottle (8 oz preferred, but larger is fine), corn kernels (1/2 – 1 cup), ribbon or yarn in fall colors or color if you only have one color. Learners will assemble these in class and use them in some music activities. 

Activities and songs will help learners be aware of notes and improve their pitch-matching skills. Some Solfege principles will be incorporated. No prior knowledge is needed.

All my music classes have a lot of back of forth between myself and the singers. I model and have the singers imitate me. As singers gain confidence, I may call on them to do some things individually. I like to keep the activities moving from one thing to the next to keep singers engaged and learning. 

No prior musical knowledge is required.

Learning Goals

Students will learn to engage their body, breath, and voice to become confident singers. 
They will learn how to pat rhythms using the Kodaly method. Learners will learn fall songs and rhythm chants. They will make a simple musical instrument.

Other Details

Supply List
Small 8 oz empty water bottle (larger bottle is fine), ½ cup corn kernels (more corn kernels if using a larger bottle), a small spoon, and some fall colored ribbon or yarn. Learners will be putting the kernels in the bottles using the small spoon or something with a spout. Then they will put the lid on the bottle and tie the ribbon around the lid. Scissors can be used to cut the ribbon, or you can cut the ribbon ahead of time.

Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I am currently taking a break from teaching. 

Hello! My name is Ms. Michelle. I like to teach music classes because I love to sing and I love to teach children how to sing. I also enjoy teaching writing, grammar, and literature classes. I have been a homeschool teacher for 15 years. I have taught many different classes in homeschool co-op settings, such as music, writing, grammar, drama, history, literature studies, career exploration, and elementary science classes. I have also been teaching ESL to children in China for 3 years. I believe students learn best by exploring the concepts themselves either by reading about it, completing a hands-on project, writing about it, or acting it out. Some kind of output helps students master concepts and add skills to their toolbox. I am a visual and auditory learner myself, so I like to teach in a way that includes auditory, visual, and kinesthetic methods when possible. I look forward to meeting your learner!
