Musicals for the Musically Timid!
The first musical I reviewed was "Jack and the Beanstalk". The table of contents lists the teachers guide pages and the song lists. Each song in the list also gives reference as to whether it is a choral piece or a solo. The songs supplied in the review kit have wonderful pages that contain nothing but lyrics and cute pictures so as to make excellent transparencies for the whole choir to see when you are teaching the music.

We all have our strong and weak areas in learning. However, it is amazing to me, just how easy it is to find a way to use music to teach just about anything to anyone!

Stick Games and more!
There are so many holidays coming up in the next couple of months that in order to try and cover them with optimal time left for which to use them, this and recent articles have had a trifold approach. This article will be divided into three sections. Halloween, even though it's not a holiday, it is an activity-filled children's festivity. The second section will be oriented around November activities, involving American Indian dances and stick games.

Odds and Ends!
As school days approach, I find myself scrambling around for all those odds and ends. Where is that purchase order? What can I purchase? Where do I find it? Where is my substitute teacher's folder? I wonder what new and fresh songs I'm going to be able to find to start off school. Geez, I can't sing the same old songs I've sung for the past three years! Thus, these thoughts have driven me to producing a back to school, pick me up, survival kit!

Music Education Resources Part 2
There is something about having time off that is a little disorienting to me. First of all, my focus or the ability to "stay on task" is virtually null and void. For all of you self-starters, you probably have so many projects to complete, you can hardly find time to settle down long enough to tour these music education sites offered in this article. I hope you will make the time because I enjoyed myself immensely. Be prepared; some of these sites are, well, shall we say, unusual or more of a virtual playground. Hopefully these sites will aid in churning some creative brain cells, or at least cleaning some of the cob webs that can develop over the years.
