I also chose to purchase some other instruments for the classroom. I received 14 colorful bell sets for our youngest students to start learning how to play instruments. I can't wait to try them out with our kindergarten students in the next few months. I also got a set of hula hoops to play music games and activities with. Some of my older student helped unpack the bells and were able to try them out. They told me they think the little kids will have lots of fun playing them.

They are very excited about the piano key border and like to pretend to play the piano while listening to music. I also have kids asking about all of the music symbols and what they are for, which is increasing their music vocabulary and their interest in music.\r\n\r\nWe have already started using the big music staff to learn about lines and spaces in first grade, which is the first step in learning to read music. We played a game with velcro circles where the kids had to find a line or space on the staff and put their circle on it. \r\nThe older students are using the carpet to help them learn the letter names of music notes. Our 5th graders are doing a group project and creating their own song. I am able to use the carpet as a reference for them to find where their notes belong.\r\n\r\nI have so many other ideas for using the carpet to learn about music, and I can't wait to try them all.
