First We Sing! Teaching Strategies: Rhythmic and Melodic Elements for Primary Grades

(ExpressiveArts). Teaching strategies for rhythmic and melodic elements taught in primary grades (K-2) are printed on 3-hole punched loose-leaf paper so teachers can easily customize the teaching sequence in order to make the most of each lesson. Each teaching strategy contains a list of requisite readiness elements and skills (what the students need to know and be able to do) before learning the new element. It includes a list of activities to prepare for the new element, a scripted, step-by-step procedure for presenting it, and ways to practice using the new element in each skill area. The strategies in this volume are geared towards the primary grades. New and experienced teachers alike will find FIRST WE SING to be a practical, flexible and creative resource for bringing Kodaly's approach into American music classrooms.
