Best High and Low Music Activities for Kindergarten and Grade 1

9/1/2025

0 Comments

 
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!

Now, I LOVE that I have this opportunity to teach music to more students and teach full-time music, but it does come with some challenges.
