Three Instant Wins: Using MusicFirst Elementary in Your Classroom Tomorrow
With Dr. Mary Birkner, Amy M. Burns, & Eric Young
Discover three ready-to-use activities to bring MusicFirst Elementary to life in your classroom—starting tomorrow. This session showcases the curriculum's flexibility by presenting specific, high-impact activities for both lower and upper elementary grades.
We will demonstrate how a song opens the door to composition, improvisation, and musical understanding through a built-in activity featuring an accompanying Orffestration for confident performance on barred instruments. We’ll also explore a versatile lesson moving seamlessly from concepts to hands-on collaborative performance, showing how to integrate resources like Boomwhackers, ukuleles, and a variety of instruments to support differentiated instruction.
Designed for all elementary music educators, this session offers practical strategies for integrating various pedagogical approaches through a song-based structure. Participants will leave with three complete, classroom-ready activities they can implement immediately—no extra prep required.
