#musicedtiptuesday In your choice of DAW, make a live remix of a familiar tune. Here’s How: Find the BPM, choose a drum beat as a class, learn the progression, record it to the beat, rewrite verses together, perform to the track, or record. #musiced #musiceducation #popmused

#musicedtiptuesday The rhythm system you choose to use may be dictated by the instrument. You don't have to use the same one all the time, and no, you won't confuse the kids. If anything, it will help them understand rhythmbetter. I use the counting system for drummers. #musiced

#musicedTipTuesday When learning a new concept like chords, a new note, or a scale, be sure to always create something original with them. Something as simple as having them make up a melody or chord progression for two minutes and sharing it with the class. #musiced #popmused

#musicedtiptuesday Have learners listen to and discuss Vivaldi’s Spring, watch performances and look for listening maps on YouTube. Once they have an idea, design a listening map of their own using Google Slides, Canva, or good ol’ paper and pencil. #musiced #musiceducation
