Elemental Form is one of the most basic ways to break down music in the elementary music classroom. Whether we are talking about singing, movement, or any other mode of music making, we use elemental form every single day in our lessons. From introducing new song material to scaffolding for students’ creative choice, elemental form is not only a concept on our curriculum roadmap, but a tool for student understanding.

Today Anne & Victoria break down different ways to teach elemental form with two concrete activities you can use in your classroom tomorrow. Not only do we explore activities that highlight form, but we talk about ways to use elemental form as a scaffold for creative choice.
