I love that. When I did Music Together teacher training, they stressed the importance of exposing young children to a variety of tonalities and meters since they learn so much by contrast.

As much as I think most music teachers want to include a variety of music, it's easy to end up doing a bunch of the same things when we aren't intentional about it.

I also have a theme for the school year and rotate those every four years so that students get some core curriculum in several areas. This year I'm trying to have every Wednesday as a "Composer" Day because we have a shortened class. Great ideas and thanks for sharing!<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00921333466923347543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-800846054248467305.post-15549805892064246352016-01-17T16:17:09.689-05:002016-01-17T16:17:09.689-05:00This is a good list.

For example, my list was more generic in using 'movement' instead of folk dances which is more specific. Also my list has 'listening' as opposed to masterworks. All in all however you say it, it leads to good planning and a variety of activities to keep everyone busy!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02081501885234882026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-800846054248467305.post-76854142338678714302016-01-17T15:30:31.241-05:002016-01-17T15:30:31.241-05:00You have a good list!

Our textbooks tend to get stuck in major tonality and duple meter, and our students need to experience a much more varied repertoire of music. Your list actually works well with mine, because there are many folk songs, foreign language songs, and classical masterworks in different tonalities and meters.
