Music Masterminds Cheryl Lavender

(ExpressiveArts). Music MasterMINDS challenges children to learn more about the 'fun'damentals of music rhythm, melody, tempo, harmony, form, timbre, style, expression and musical careers, as they connect musical learning across the curriculum to reading, language arts, spelling, math, science, social studies, history, art, and foreign language. And through play, children develop such life-learning skills as observation, reasoning, decision-making, and problem-solving skills! Designed for Grades 1-6, each section of this creative resource focuses on a musical element, and the puzzles are sequenced in order from easiest to most challenging. Use Music MasterMINDS as a supplement to regular music lessons, or as activities for the sub or for those days that need a special activity! Share these puzzles with classroom teachers for ongoing, cross-curricular integration. Puzzles include: Find the Hidden Instrument, Spell a Story, Fast and Slow Match-Up, Find the Music Alphabet, Loud and Soft Match-Up, State the States, Music Symbol Crossword, Composers' Word Search, World Instrument Quest, Meet Mr. Mozart, Connect the Music Careers, and many more intriguing challenges! Available: Activity Book. For Gr. 1-6.
