Here are some resources for learning music at home!
San Francisco Symphony: Instruments of the Orchestra
We're studying instruments of the orchestra after concerts this year (second grade and kindergarten have started already). This needs no log-in. There are wonderful resources for listening and identifying instruments of the orchestra. Kids have loved this in past years! It's appropriate for all grades, but younger ones might want some help from an older sibling.
San Francisco Symphony: The Music Lab
This is appropriate for fourth graders (we've covered many of these concepts) and third graders who would like a challenge (we've covered some of this).
Here are some movement resources for songs we use in music class.
The Goonie Bird Song
Mrs. Ahlrich's TK kids know this one, but it's fun for everyone!
These are MoveIt pieces. The goal is to make beautiful movements to beautiful music so children become artful about making their own music. These are part of our curriculum in TK and Kindergarten.
Waltz in Ab by Brahms
TK has done this many times. It should be familiar to kindergarten and first grade, too.
Aquarium from Carnival of the Animals by Saint Saens
Fur Elise by Beethoven
This one is a bit tricky!
Here are a few favorite songs!
Preschool and TK kids have sung these.
Jenny Jenkins
No More Pie
We haven't done these yet in kindergarten this year, but older kids probably know them! They're often requested when I ask for favorites.
The Tailor and the Mouse
Crabfish Song
Happy Music Making!
