VIDEO TRANSCRIPTION:

Hi music colleagues. Remote learning for our younger primary students. It is really challenging, so here are a couple of hints.

The Take Note Music making teacher book has beautiful accompaniments for some of our most loved repertoire. The teacher book includes a data disk which has the student page on it for your display. It has a CD for the CD player. And it also has online access to the audio, so you can play that while you're using remote teaching or in the classroom and provide a beautiful backing track for singing for your students from prep to two. Their songs include Bee Bee,  Mr Sun, Lucy Lockett, Good Night, Frère Jacques, Suogan, Rain is Falling Down, and Drunken Sailor, so they are beautiful sensitive accompaniments for singing or instrumental performance. This will create musical experiences for your students in their lessons and also may be use as accompaniments for the “Ask Me” activities. Which are those beautiful lily fire album suggestions of asking the children to sing for three people each week. One song with a focus maybe it's performed the words, maybe it's performed the rhythm,  maybe it's perform the beat activity with it okay.

​So I hope there are some suggestions there that are useful. Happy teaching!

Making music is at the heart of authentic and engaging music education. The Take Note Music Making series is a group performance resource that takes place within the context of the regular singing-based music classroom. It provides a guide to performance skill development with explicit learning intentions that are achieved through singing and sequential transference onto recorder and/or tuned percussion.

​

Students learn to perform a variety of styles of music from around the world on descant recorder and/or tuned percussion. They sing, play, read, write, listen, respond and create. It is expected that the songs are thoroughly known by the students in words and sol-fa prior to transferring them into note names and onto instruments. Students develop the skill of reading notation in the treble staff. Each task is succinct, accessible and clearly set out. There are extension challenges offered for the more able students. 

The song repertoire can be consolidated both in the classroom and beyond with the use of the extensive recordings that accompany the student book.
