Curriculum Planning for the Elementary Music Class

I get a lot of questions about how I structure the music curriculum at Boone Meadow Elementary. This video shows how I make sure my students receive a well rounded music education that includes singing, instruments, moving, dancing, theory and performance, while also connecting music to disciplines like reading, history, art, math, science and technology. It’s a big picture overview rather than a list of specifics, and there’s plenty of room to adjust as the year goes on. Still, I’ve found that starting with an overall plan is a huge help when putting together weekly lessons, and I hope you find something here that you can use as well.
