This is a game I created as a Christmas bonus for my Vibrant Music Teaching members and played at several of the final lessons before our break.
This is not just any matching game. There are 5 different options that match for each sign or symbol. For example:
- Quarter note
- Crotchet
- Ta
- 1 beat
Teachers can pick which to include and leave out and students are encouraged to understand the relationship of all this terminology.
You’ll see in the video that a few of these terms that my student has not encountered yet. Games like this are a great way for me to provide a gentle introduction, before new concepts are needed by the student in her repertoire.
What are quick clips?
Colourful Keys Quick Clips are all about giving you a taste of what my lessons are actually like – in action.
I certainly don’t claim to be an expert, and I don’t have all the answers. I just know how much seeing real teaching with real students has helped me to grow and improve as a teacher.
Let me know what you think!
I hope you got some inspiration from this Colourful Keys Quick Clip. If you have any thoughts or questions, be sure to ask them in the Vibrant Music Studio Teachers group on Facebook or in the comments here, and do make sure to subscribe to my emails and YouTube channel to get notified when a new quick clip is published.
If you want more and extended clips of my teaching, be sure to check out the Vibrant Music Teaching library. There’s tons more like this as well as a whole library of teaching games to boot.
