Students will be able to participate in all class activities without materials. However, for the best experience, I recommend that students keep a box/bin of music materials nearby in an area that is easily accessible during class, but just far enough away to avoid an easy distraction when items are not in use. Recommended materials for music class include:

♪ Hand Drum (DIY: plastic bucket, sturdy cardboard box, or another safe item with a flat surface students can hit with their hand or a mallet like a drum)

♪ Rhythm Sticks (DIY: wooden spoons, markers, or two other safe long, thin stick-like items students can tap together to make sounds)

♪ Fun Sounds (1-2 other instruments or found sounds a student may want to bring to class - ex: shakers, triangle, DIY instruments, or safe household items that make fun sounds)

♪ Music Buddy (Stuffed animal or other safe, fun prop)

♪ Small scarf or other piece of fabric

Students should have a safe space during class to move around, dance, etc.
