5 Music Sequencing Tips for Older Beginners


Listen Later

If I had to rank questions I get from the Anacrusic community... well there's always a few that come back again and again. And one of them is always from eager new teachers or teachers new to sequencing who are like, "this is amazing!!... but how do I do it with the older kids?" And y'all,  get it. When you first start to implement a meaningful scope and sequence, it's easy to get your feet off the ground with the itty bitties, because you quite literally start at the very beginning (because it is a very good place to start, thank you Maria Von Trap). 

But perhaps one of the trickiest questions, you know along side "how do you solve a problem like Maria?" is how do you do this with the big kids? Today, on The Anacrusic Podcast we're talking all about sequencing for older beginners.

Here's a little bit of what you'll hear on this episode:

  • Why you shouldn't use the same songs for the same concept across grade levels.
  • How to "level up" basic or foundational concepts in the older grades.
  • The 3 reasons active music making is especially important for those older beginners.
