All about my life

Our grade 4 and 5/6 Orff Clubs performed this past week at our city music festival and had a blast!  Putting together Orff ensembles can be a lot of work, but the following resources make it very accessible for  students in grades 4-6.  INTERY MINTERY By Doug Goodkin My grade 4 Orff Club performed Humpty Dumpty (5 movements) from this excellent book! Goodkin has some great arrangements in here that make traditional Nursery Rhymes engaging and interesting for students. HAPPY JAMMIN' By Paul Corbiere I LOVE this resource! Every piece is fantastic. Kids love it! This is accessible for the Music classroom as well. The pieces in here range from BAG recorder songs in common time (Dix Ans) to a song in five (Five Jive) that includes a high E in the recorder part. This resource by Paul Corbiere is on my TOP FIVE list at the moment! Check out the audio of my Grade 4 Orff Club performing  DIX ANS- HERE ! HOT MARIMBA and MARIMBA MOJO By Walt Hampton  If you don't have thes...

I put together an olympic centre rotation for my grade 4-6 Music classes when the Olympics were going on. I would like to share my Hockey Match up Centre with you! For FREE!  Some teachers are so good at making things look good digitally and create such wonderful things that I end up buying on TpT, but I am NOT one of them. Some (not all!) of my documents have clipart that ends up being fuzzy or not quite right, so I would never ask anyone to pay for the resources I make! HERE are the instructions for the centre. You can find the centre pieces  HERE.  Hope your kids enjoy it as much as mine did!
