Rehearsal Grade Checklist

50% of my daily grade is a Value Score. Value is basically class participation. My students know that they must add value to each rehearsal in order for us to be our best. This poster acts as a quick reminder of what their value score is comprised.

Subdivided Beat Composition Project

This project guides students through the proper use of and composition with subdivided beats. When I did this project with students this paper was the first step. The second step was to put these rhythms into MuseScore on their MacBooks. Students could also use finale or any other music notation file to do this as an extension of the project.

These beautiful 8.5x11" posters will remind students of the expectations of your music room. Expectations are a great alternative to the traditional "rules" and set a tone of excellence for your classroom. The colors of the posters are designed to work well with any existing décor you already have. They are also great for use in digital classrooms or slide shows to begin your year or as reminders.

About the store

Experience

I am in my ninth year of teaching. I've taught special needs music (pre-k to age 21), as well as elementary general music (grades 2-4) and middle school chorus and musical theater.

Teaching style

I focus on teaching my students to read music instead of just singing pretty songs. My students can identify I, IV, and V chords, all solfege (accidentals included), they can read rhythms in simple and compound time, and put it all together to sight read music. My students also learn the basics of composing and practice composing with their computers.

Awards & shining teacher moments
