Prevention!
It doesn’t matter how much you THINK you have taught
your students, when they begin playing an instrument,
the key to THEIR success and keeping YOUR sanity is
to get your parents on board!
Inform your parents!
Equip your students!
Design your semester for FUN and SUCCESS!
GLOCKENSPIEL
PARENT INFORMATION LETTER
Dear Third Grade Parents,
Third, fourth and fifth grade music students use glockenspiels to
reinforce treble clef note reading and rhythms. Each student will be issued a
book, a glockenspiel and a lesson plan sheet. These should be kept in a
special “practice place”. The book and glockenspiel should be returned to the
music room in December. Lost or damaged books will result in a $10
replacement fee. Lost or damaged glockenspiels will result in a #40
replacement fee.
The students will be responsible for practicing certain songs each week
and playing them in class. I encourage the students to come to my classroom
before school any morning (except Day 2s) between 7:20 and 7:50 to practice
or pass off their songs.
The key to success is making sure that you hear your child “saying” the
notes aloud and then “saying and playing” two measures at a time, until they
can play the entire song. They may not write the note names down. If you have
any questions, please feel free to stop by before school with your child and I’ll
give you a 5 minute “crash course” on how they should be practicing at home.
It is much easier for them when they practice the same way that we do in
class. The good news is that they use the same 11 treble clef notes from first
grade through fifth grade. 
I am looking forward to a great semester of music with your child.

Holiday Square Dancing
What about the students who play
another instrument and can pass
off the songs quickly?
When a student gets two songs ahead, they
may go to a music center of their choice:
• Treasure Hunter Music Game – great
questions on composers, instruments, and
musical terms
DANCE OFF!
• This dance mat helps students with large
and small motor skills
• As the stars in the center light up, they
must jump on the corresponding stars on
their side of the mat
• One or two may play at the same time
• They listen to various melodies and
rhythms as they “dance”!
Remember the idea about making a “jump
rope rhyme” CD for the trampoline?
• Even third, fourth and fifth graders love to
jump on a trampoline!
• They LOVE making their own CD, too! Put
them at the computer with the “Audacity”
program, a mic and CD and let them go!
• They reinforce “the beat of their feet” by
jumping to the beat of the music.
• Students waiting must clap along.
Some students just love to play on the
glockenspiel!
Make a music center with lots of choices of
sheet music:
• Disney songs
• Christmas songs
• Folk songs
• Rounds
• Scales and arpeggios
Everyone loves puppets!
Let the students practice puppet skills and
learn at the same time!
• Shurley jingles
• Special program songs
• Math raps
• States and Capitals song
• Pre-recorded puppet skits

Lesson Plan Tips
Write in changes on your lesson plans, based on
what actually happened in the class.
What worked well? What didn’t?
Did the students learn easily? Were they
frustrated? What can you change to prevent
that?
Did the activity take longer than expected? Why?
How should you adapt it?
DELEGATE
RESPONSIBILTIES
TO STUDENTS.
I honestly hope this session has
been beneficial to you.
