Art and Music
Art
This site is full of lessons for teachers to engage students using visual works of art and making cross-curricular connections for writing and reading which helps students make better connections and have a clearer understanding of topics.
Music
Creative music video-inspired STEAM design challenges - This might be useful for teachers who are differentiating within one class; the entire class can watch the video, but different groups may engage in different tasks afterward.
This YouTube channel consists of 6 videos that explain different aspects of music theory in a really engaging and easy-to-understand, visual way. The videos cover time signatures, note & rest values, scales, reading treble & bass clef.
This website allows students to learn about beats, melody, chords, bass-lines and song structure. Students can work through the tutorials then create their own songs using ‘the playground’.
