I know that creating an online curriculum is ridiculously challenging, especially for music, so I figured I would share this lesson with y'all. This is a lesson works through Google Forms, it discusses Major and Minor sounds. I've used it in the past as a self-guided lesson as well as a substitute lesson and it's worked very well.

This is a great worksheet to use as a reinforcement after a lesson introducing a new rhythm. It encourages the students to distinguish small differences between the traditional icons (filled in hole for a quarter note

This bundle will have your Arizona music classroom set for the year on color by rhythm worksheets. Each image comes with three options, color by symbol, color by syllable (i.e. ta, ti-ti), and color by name (i.e. quarter notes). These are great for centers, substitute plans, and movie days!

Often the best way to get students to learn theory is to do it through games and all too often we teach note reading in lecture style.

I have used this lesson with 2nd, 3rd, and 4th grade classes and they would play the game for the whole lesson if I'd let them! Once the studen
