If you download the free preview, you'll see the file I'm using to explain my process below. If it works for you, check out the rest of the songs. I'll be using these PowerPoints with my 3rd graders. I love my group of 3rd graders - I can honestly say they are the most prepared group I've every had to start recorder. Can't wait.

This looks wonderful! I can really use some new ideas for teaching my super slow 5 th graders. They just didn't get it as a group last year and are a struggle every class lately. Maybe new visuals will inspire them. I've never had a group this difficult!
ReplyDeleteHope it works for you! I created them for myself because of my numerous SPED kiddos - they've had much more success this year.
ReplyDeleteHow do you put notation on a power point? I have a feeling it's a copy paste issue but I don't where to start to copy/paste. I would love to create what you did. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!!
ReplyDeleteI wish I had some nice music software...but I don't. I simply create each rhythm out of shapes (for instance - a quarter note is a circle with a line) which I group together. The staff is a four row table. It is incredibly tedious, I won't deny it :(
