The Official Music Room Tour of 2023!

Posted on 09/22/202310/24/2023 by Mrs. V

           It’s finally up!  The Official Music Room Tour for Mrs. V’s Music Room is here at last! In this video, I’ll show you some of my favorite features and strategies that I use on a daily basis.  I will show you where my Star puzzle lives, some of my organizational options, and new-to-me decor that has completely transformed this space.  I even show you inside my office, where I go to plan, prep and regain my sanity in between my teaching time. I’m spoiled, I know! However, my office is actually storage, as you will see in the video. But I promise, it’s organized chaos. I have many, many bins because I tend to be accident prone and spill many liquids. I need my documents to be safe in plastic. You can find most of those bin on Amazon. Check these ones out! I like to use the clear ones so I can see through the container easily. This helps me find what I need and quickly! There are so many more things that you need to see- I’m going to have to make a few more videos to fit it all in.  Be sure to check back regularly to see them all!  Did I mention that this is a brand new channel? Remember to like and subscribe! Find the official tour for Mrs. V’s Music Room below. Let me know what you think!

Easy and Engaging Candy-Themed Music Lessons for Early Years

Posted on 09/18/202509/08/2025 by Mrs. V

October is a wild month and there all seems to be a spike in sugary snacks that are packed into lunch kits. And I’m sure the kids have some, too! 😜 Candy is a language all students speak. So why not use it in music? You’ve seen the fruit rhythms and what not, why not substitute for candy? 1. Large Group Call and Response Students have no end of creativity, especially when it is relateable. Give them the opportunity to come up with their own candy. Toss a ball back and forth. When it lands on (NAME), sing the name of the student and then have that student come up with a candy. Have the class sing the last line! If you don’t have a ball, play the game “Stella-Ella-Olla” style. Grab the Lyric slide and the sheet music for the game HERE. 2. Large Group Form Composition A popular way to teach form is the hamburger method or the cake method. Why not use candy? Have student volunteers assign candy to form and then practice the rhythms. For example, if “A” equals Gummy Bear, “B” is Cotton Candy, and then “C” is for Ice Cream, create a rondo form like this: 3. Candy Rhythm Builder Centers Activity This activity is easy prep. Print, cut and go! Have students compose a rhythm and then clap or play it. Use as an early-finisher activity or for assessments. Click HERE for your own copy.
