Composer Notes Junior Music Toolkit available Q3 2002

Composer Notes JuniorTM Music Toolkit is an electronic resource book that shows teachers how to offer creative music activities in an elementary classroom. It provides a wealth of exciting classroom lesson resources organised into a carefully planned curriculum.

School Principals take note!

Music can sometimes be a part of the curriculum that is challenging for the non-specialist teacher.

Junior Music Toolkit helps you meet those challenges by providing teaching modules which have a strong professional development focus. This allows non-specialist teachers to apply their expertise as educators to gain confidence, skills and knowledge in working with the elements of music such as pitch, rhythm and texture.

Fitting everything into an increasingly crowded curriculum can be a challenge for teachers. The thematic modules in Junior Music Toolkit allow teachers to enrich their teaching within the Social studies, Health, Science and English curricula. Specific learning outcomes ensure that the content is effective, useful and focussed upon student needs.

Junior Music Toolkit is ideal for shared use amongst a group of elementary/primary teachers, including non- specialist music teachers. It is available as an affordable site license for the whole school to use.

Teaching Tools

Six Teaching Tools modules provide opportunity for professional development, and also allow teachers without specialist music knowledge to train themselves prior to teaching these concepts.

Get up and running in the classroom quickly

Teachers may then use the prescriptive lesson plans in the Introductory Activities modules to begin teaching these ideas to their students immediately.

Explore ideas in depth

As teachers progress through the activities with their students, more General Activity Modules are provided to reinforce and extend children's creativity. Here, specialist music teachers will find a wealth of extension activities and lesson resources to enrich any elementary music programme.

Extend and Explore ideas with cross- curricula activities

Following these activities, cross- curricula lesson plans are provided which allow the musical concepts to be further explored together with an extra- musical theme. A total of 18 different modules provide dozens of lesson plans - topics such as "Space", "Dinosaurs", "A Magic Carpet Ride" and " Who am I?" enable the teacher to incorporate creative music into other areas of the curriculum, enriching their programme and catering for a variety of learning styles.

Specific Learning Outcomes

All classroom teaching modules are referenced to a summary of Specific Learning Outcomes, to assist you in selecting and understanding the teaching materials.

Curriculum Wizard helps locate materials and assists teaching planning

To help teachers get up and running quickly, our built-in Curriculum Wizard allows teachers to locate lesson resources according to their own musical knowledge and teaching bias, as well to follow a number of pre- defined teaching pathways.
