Words that Work

The following word sheets work really great as reminders of the vocabulary to include during lessons.

Ask students to perform with music as their "Friend" or to see what happens when they bring their "Energy" into action.

At the end of lessons, take a moment to plan ahead for the week with questions like - Which piece will you play this week to "Chill out"? Which piece will you play for "Soul food"? Which piece seems the best to explore "Imagination"?

The following word sheet works as reminder for music teachers to include conversations regarding our students' future music making - the music making activities they'll participate in after formal music lessons have ended.

What do they see themselves doing "next year", "this summer", "in 10 years"?

Will they be playing with "friends" or "family"?

Will it be something they do "after work" or to "take a break"?
