What's so great about this curriculum? It works!!
 
How do you know? Because I used these lesson plans for over 30 years in my elementary music classroom and I KNOW what children need, respond to, love, and retain. These plans are the final result of changing to accommodate any new methodology, terminology, trends, technology, etc. that came along. My students loved music class, teachers and parents supported me, and admin was always impressed during observations/evaluations.

Many of the activities, songs, and music originated with the MacMillan and Silver Burdett textbook series. However, an extensive INDEX is provided with each unit with substitutions for anything you might not have that would also accomplish the purpose in the standards.

I was asked to be the music teacher for a daycare’s kindergarten class fairly last minute before the new semester began and I was in desperate need of lesson plans to get me started. This resource was a HUGE help and the materials included were organized and useful. The amount of content in this free bundle is outstanding and I highly recommend this to any one!
