Bow Tie Music is a lesson sharing platform built to inspire elementary school music teachers through an authentic, practical, and creative approach to music education. Everything you see here is intended to emphasize the belief that kids are awesome, music should be fun, and building a life-long appreciation of music within our students is the pinnacle of this great profession.
Hallo from Germany, I love your videos with all the great ideas making music with your pupils.👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 I have a question: your tables of the xylophones and Glockenspiels, from where are they? Also studio 49? I can't find them here in german music centers
We love this song! i love the use of the drums as their steering - I am going to try this! I expand it later on to ask for modes of transportation - we travel by helicopter, bicycle, roller blades, motorcycle, horse, etc and move to it accordingly. Or modes of movement, tip toe, stomp, slide, etc.
Why rush through like a machine assembly line? I wonder what would it take to just allow them the actually get in the zone experiment in their own time freely? Also to have the instrument child height- ergonomically speaking this looks sweet but very left brain instructional as opposed to immersive right brain experiential, which music is about for me at least…
We only had a limited time, and my goal for that time was to give every child a chance to explore on several different kinds of instruments. The assembly line approach was really just an efficient way to keep it moving for kids who have pretty short attention spans as it is :) Good point on instrument stand heights. Some are at their lowest heights already, but I could certainly lower others.
Third grade and up is a good target (the kids in this video were third graders at the time), but a good group of second graders could probably handle it too :)
