THE SINGING CLASSROOM SAVES YOU TIME!

  • Instead spending hours flipping through books, use the search engine to find exactly what you’re looking for. Browse by grade level, or get more specific searching by type of game or musical skills and concepts.
  • Find everything you need for a particular song or game all in one place. Lyrics, scores, audio, video, animations, and links to manipulatives are all on a single page.
  • Watch demonstration videos that show effective ways of introducing and teaching songs and games. Learn how to avoid common pitfalls! Your time is valuable and won’t be wasted with lengthy introductions or explanations.
  • The videos are succinct and get right to the point. Watch bunny animations to learn games and dances instead of trying to decipher written descriptions! It takes just seconds to understand a movement game or handclap when you see it done. You can even go on the site for a few minutes between classes to review or even learn a brand-new activity quickly.
  • Show the bunny animations to your classes! Children used to learn singing games and handclaps by watching each other. Nowadays, children spend more time doing adult-organized activities, and music teachers must bring these joyful musical experiences to the children. When children watch the bunnies, it recreates the experience of watching other children play the game. They learn the games instantly, saving you precious class time. In addition, the hand-drawn bunnies allow children (and teachers) to learn without being distracted by the children’s age, ethnic background, or gender, or even by trying to guess the amount of money the music program receives bases on the classroom decor!
  • Don’t wait for materials to come in the mail--gain instant access to the posters and other pictures shown in the videos! Just print out nine pages of poster pieces on regular printer and tape them together. Or, simply project the image on a screen or interactive whiteboard.
