Music Classroom Reveal!!!

I am so excited to share my 2019-2020 Music Room with you!  I went with a chalkboard/mason jar/farm theme.

I have a door to the main hallway and a door to the stage hallway, which will be very helpful for program set up and prep.  I didn't want to be hidden in the end of my long rectangular room so I put a corner desk between the two so I still feel connected to the building!


 
How did anyone ever decorate classrooms without Hobby Lobby?? the two signs above and the clock below were found there. There was a white bag with emergency supplies, but I have been telling kids to grab the red bag for so long that I had to replace it.  I made the little chalkboard with hooks to hold my hall pass and bathroom pass.


Class Points!  
Check out my new system for tracking class points. The goal is to reach 80 points to earn a privilege or choice day.  Right now the choice day list includes, dance day, karaoke day, outside game day, sock day, silly song day.  The students seem excited with this challenge.

Word Wall!  We will have a WoW, Word of the Week then add them to our word wall.  
(This is great way to increase vocabulary, contributing to students literacy.)
The bench in this pic is for the Music Maestro to sit on.
Check out the 1936 magazine cover of John Phillip Sousa, an instrument page from the same magazine, and a music lesson book from 1895.

I LOVE the way this end of the room turned out.  The bookshelf is decorative and functional.  I painted the picture behind the window over the weekend.  I used spray paint to make the buns match.

M.U.S.I.C Guidlines
Look for a future post with details.

Pledge, National Anthem, MoW, and WoW

Cabinets with music attributes.

My coworker at my previous school gave me the Treble Maker sign!  I found the metal basket at a flee market then used burlap ribbon to make it the music mailbox,  My goal is for students to turn in notes and things without interrupting my classes.

I love the classroom sign I made at my moms!

Hallway wall for everyone!!

  I am soooooo excited about the music staff in my hallway at school.  The caption is "Each of us a single note, together we create a masterpiece at DSE!"  Each note has a student's name and each color is a different class.  I am thinking I will leave it up the whole year as a teaching tool, but we will see how that goes.

Anchor charts

So... I'm not sure if anchor charts are for the students or serve as a visual reminder for me.  I love the active listening one I made and can refer to to correct or redirect students, it hangs near where I stand in the room.  The other chart reminds me what to have the kids look for when examining a new piece of music.

Centers

More Music Room Centers!!! My students love doing centers!!!! Cuptastic Each student in the group has one cup and the group must come up with a pattern to pass the cups. Pitch Reading Practice Picked up this little tool at the convention last week!   Student groups for centers are right now leveled by their pitch reading capabilities. At this center, right next to me, students can practice reading bass and treble clef. More pitch reading fun!!   Students use their recorder or the xylophone and play the pitches on the cards.   Fifth graders use these cards.  Fourth grade students use other cards. Music Madness A board game I made years ago to practice treble clef pitch reading. Musical Pairs Buy It Here Rhythm Rockets Artie Almeida Music Proficiency Pack See It Here Don't Break The Ice Music Symbols on the ice cubes.   Students draw a term, typed on paper, and tap out the matching symbol.
