ORCHESTRA - KARATE STRINGS, KARATE ORCHESTRA CERTIFICATES
Have you ever had your beginning or intermediate strings participate in Karate Strings or Karate Orchestra? I have found a way for you to supplement your ribbons, yarn, or other creative orchestra reward belts with these certificates. Karate certificates mirror the same as the traditional Karate program: white, yellow, green, purple, blue, red, brown, black. All belts are included plus a GOLD belt for you to use for your programs interest. I used it in secret for those kids that got perfect sco

Orchestra Bingo (Great Sub Activity)
Are you looking for a great substitute activity that keeps your students engaged and reviewing their method book in your absence? This is a fun activity of Bingo with a new flare. Just like the traditional game of Bingo, Orchestra Bingo has a 5x5 grid but instead, each number is associated with an exercise from your classroom method book. Students perform these exercises for your substitute and mark them off together as a class. Winners are presented with tickets to claim prizes when you return.

Beginning Guitar - Unit Test - Vocabulary Pamphlet Supplement
Do you test beginning Guitar? Do you teach a one semester class? Do you use Essential for Elements Guitar? Well this product might help you in the classroom. I use this as a tool for my students to take note on throughout the year as they learn chords as as a quick guide to refer back to when students have questions.

FRIDAY FREEBIE: Orchestra Fundraiser
Have you been looking for an easy way to fundraise without asking students to go door-to-door? This document is for you!
Ask your students to each think of 5-10 people that they can send this letter to. The students just need to sign their name (and eventually write a thank you card if a donation is submitted on their behalf).
I have uploaded a word document for you that contains a general fill in the blank and my last example. Edit as you like. I hope it will benefit your program as it has h

Experience
I have taught K-12 in general music (2 years), guitar (5 years), and orchestra (14 years) in public school. I mainly focused in the junior high for 11 of those years teaching orchestra, guitar, and even yearbook while also teaching elementary strings. I have a passion for promoting music and am excited to share my resources.
Teaching style
I am about the whole learner. I like being creative in my classroom and focusing on technology, creativity, safe sharing, and promoting passion for music.
Additional biographical information
I have coordinated many string State In-Services and hope that these resources help with everyday teaching, sub plans, or to be used at conferences.
I started off in violin and also play the viola and have always felt that the alto clef gets ignored. All theory documents that are created, have all the instruments in mind, and are student tested.
I have a love and passion for guitar (it was my first musical instrument). I really enjoy teaching guitar in the public school but feel there are a lack of ready-made resources to supplement method books for assessment (and the data driven world we live in). Hopefully some of my materials will help you focus more on playing and assessing their knowledge in a practical way.
