Musik & Me – Featuring Lets Play Music and Sound Beginnings

Your student has been taking baby steps and skipping around in class for sometime. Now, we get to take the concepts that we’ve been experiencing and start applying them to reading music on the staff. This approach to reading music is somewhat unique to Let’s Play Music. Young children will be reading from the staff without knowing any note names; read more details on how this effective method works. Try playing these baby steps on the Let’s Play Music App! Click on the two notes at the bottom left and find the tone bells. Touch a bell to hear it play, be sure your phone is off Silent Mode and volume is up.

BONUS GAME!!!

Since your children are now more familiar with the bug rhythms, I think they’re ready for this fun matching game I made called “Rhythm Foods“!

Instructions:

• Print the PDF in color or black/white.
• Cut out the notes on the first page (there are 3 extra notes). If you’d like to make them more durable, laminate them, or cut them into strips and put shipping tape on both sides before cutting them out individually.
• You may keep the other 4 pages as they are, or cut them into 4 sections so each of the 16 foods is a separate card.
• Begin with ONLY the first food page (the one with Pop Tarts) to be sure they understand the concepts, then add the other 3 pages once they understand how to play.
• Have your child clap and say each food with you.
• The answers are on the last page (printing that page is optional).

Please let me know if you use this game and let me know what you think. Your honest feedback is greatly appreciated! I made this game for YOU! ♥
