Warmups

Learning targets are the classroom teacher’s way to convey to students the destination for the lesson in student friendly language—what to learn, how deeply to learn it, and exactly how to demonstrate their new learning. The intention for the lesson is one of the most important things students should know to prevent mystery learning.



I can warm up my musical brain and learn to read music by following along with the warmups.






The following warmups are split into rhythmic and melodic. Students can say the rhythmic warmups using the Kodåly method. The melodic warmups using Sol Feg with Curwen hand signs.

Rhythm Warmup: The top track will be a percussion instrument playing the rhythm so the student may say the syllables along. The middle track is the percussion instrument along with the accompaniment. The bottom track is the accompaniment only. (Students may use instruments to play along also).

Melody Warmup: The top track will be a vocal part so the student may sing along with the syllables. The middle track is the vocal part along with the accompaniment. The bottom track is the accompaniment only. (Students may use C instruments to play along also).
