Need a solution for remote teaching?
Right now, teachers are being asked to teach online, as schools close all over the world due to the Coronavirus outbreak. Here is what we are doing to help.
Dear music teaching friend,
Right now, the world is experiencing some extraordinary times, with schools closing and teachers being asked to teach students via the internet in their homes.
With older students, it is easy to give them music theory worksheets or assignments to complete, and they can work along at home and send you back their work. However what about younger students, in primary or elementary school?
Here at the Fun Music Company we surveyed our customers, and found out that teachers need something:
– That can be done by the students at home with very little instruments or equipment.
– That will still involve students actively participating in music.
– That will be easy to do, and require no passwords or anything like that for the students.
So what we did was go through our entire Fun Music Company Curriculum program, and choose the best lessons that will work in this situation. Then we created extra ideas for the students on how to implement them and created email templates to explain each lesson.
We have four lessons for you from each grade, which we believe will work for remote learning. They use minimal instruments, and where instruments are required students make or find objects to substitute for instruments.

Here is how it works:

Step 1: The teacher sends the students an email
You send students an email with the lesson content, customized from the template provided.
Instead of email you could use Google Classroom or whatever online system your school is using.

Step 2: Student completes the lesson online
Students visit the links in the email to access the videos and instructional materials.
No student login is required.
Students complete their work with minimal equipment required.

Step 3: Student emails back their work
Some of the lessons have a worksheet, and some lessons ask that students video themselves doing something, and email their work back to you for assessment.
This is completely customizable based on your own expectations of your students.
