Choose from several different games that explore melody, tempo and even create your own music with the game Make Your Band. Games are based for younger students.

This is a great way to pratice listening to rhythms. Grades 1-5

The New York Philharmonic has put online a concert about Make-Believe that would be great for K & 1. There is a narrator and it would give kids a chance to use their imagination. The second half of the video goes through the Carnival of the Animal by Camille Saint Saens and the students could move like each of the animals. There is quite a bit of talking for the first two minutes and thirty seconds...you might fast forward. :)

In this game, students will tap, clap, pat, use an item from home (tissue box, tupperware, pasta box, etc) to tap when the "deteggtive" bounces on the egg.  There are 4 levels to play. 

Level 2 - be sure to find something to keep the beat with.

Be a beat "Deteggtive."

Go beat "Deteggtives!"

As the instruments are played, see if you can guess which one is playing.

Here you can code your own music, creating a composition to play for someone at home! Have fun!

Hi Families,

Need an activity for your child. Here you can print worksheets for grades K-2 and grades 3-5. They can then use the worksheet and explore the site to find their answers. K/1 students might need some older sibling or adult help.

Click on the instruments and hear them being played.  Great for K-5.

Create your own song. Good for all ages K-5.

Listen to a rhythm and play it on the drum. A good listening game for K-5.

Click on a composer and hear their music!

Families - you too can make your own instruments! Here is a link to choose your instrument! If you make an instrument, be sure to name it and send me a picture so I can post it on our instagram page. Have fun!  romerola@unit5.org

Learn about scales, chords, key signatures, etc. 5th grade band and orchestra students, this is a good resource.

Click on the name of a composer and learn a little about them. You can also hear an except of their music. 

If you are looking for a challenge, this is great practice if you are trying to learn the names of the lines and spaces on both the treble and bass staff.
