Virtual Interactive Music Room

 

The Virtual Music Room is a great resource not only for virtual music instruction and student exploration, but also as a fun group activity or reward that supports students' music education.  This page will be updated throughout the school year so please feel free to share suggestions or feedback if you check it out or use it in class with your students!

 Una “Hello” Song

A fun Pre-School to 3rd grade greeting echo song where you can incorporate all your students’ names!

EXAMPLE:

 

This is an adapted version of “Twist and Shout” by The Beatles.  

Each line is replaced by “Hello ____________” and everyone echoes.

 

Play this track to try it with your class!  There is space to sing up to 30 names.
 

Recommended:
    •    Make sure you know how to pronounce everyone’s names! If needed, use a seating chart and make a go-around to take note of any special pronunciations.
    •    include everyone in the class and finish with “Hello everyone”

Literature connection: Alma and How She Got Her Name

Share this book with the class to inspire a conversation about our names and their origin. There is a version in Spanish available too!

For 2nd-4th grade, this can turn into a research assignment that can help reinforce students’ identity and cultural pride.
