Knowing the difference between high and low is a foundational skill in elementary music as it prepares students to sing in tune. Some students need lots of practice with the concept to be able to truly master it. So, in kindergarten and even the beginning of grade 1, it is one of my key and first lessons to teach.
But how exactly can you teach such a broad concept to elementary age students? My solution is to make it relatable to everyday life and keep them engaged by using different teaching techniques and instruments! In my TPT store, I have a complete lesson pack that I use to teach my elementary music students about high and low. It includes everything you need- lesson plans, projectables, and worksheets. Check out the lesson pack here!

Teaching students about the 4 voices they have is one of the first steps to developing strong singers. This is something that I teach in Kindergarten through the year and refresh in grade 1 and grade 2, but if I am being honest it isn’t one of my favourite things to teach. I was having a hard time finding ways to make the lesson engaging, and to review the concept without being redundant.
So, one day I buckled down, created the 4 Voices song and gave each voice a matching animal character. From there I came up with singing games, matching activities, and so much more. Make sure you grab the free copy of the 4 Voices song here! Here are ready-to-teach highlights of my 4 Voices Unit that you could do with your littles TODAY. |
