Every class works hard to earn points in music class. They have the opportunity to earn five points each class in the following areas:
1 - How they enter the room
2 - How they behave
3 - How they handle supplies and instruments
4 - How they participate as a class
5 - How they exit
The class in each grade level that has the most points at the end of each grading period earns a Golden Music Note Day. The class then chooses what they want to do during that class and they have the following choices:
1 - Music Technology Day: iPods, iPads and Computer stations
2 - Centers
3 - Song and Game Day: singing and playing music games that students have learned during the year or years
4 - Computer Lab Day
The students in Mrs. Tucker's class earned the Golden Music Note for the first nine weeks and voted to use their iPads in class tomorrow as their reward day. Students will have choices in using music apps only and downloading new apps to experiment with. Everything from composing to listening to music theory, notes and much, much more. I'm excited to see what I can learn from students as well as what they think about the class.
Below is a fantastic link that another music teacher put together that lists great music class apps. And from what I can tell, they are free!! (at least, the ones I checked and clicked on):
