You're a school teacher with a primary or junior music class. You:

  • have limited to moderate musical ability
  • have little time due to other teaching commitments
  • don't want to shortchange your students regarding their musical education
  • are reluctant to tackle this challenge alone

You need help to achieve your music program goals. You want a book which:

  • adheres to the Ontario curriculum
  • has step-by-step, creative and fun lesson plans
  • helps introduce your students to the joy of music
  • increases your own knowledge of music and improves your ability to teach it as a subject

The Key to your Primary Music Program
and
The Key to your Junior Music Program

will help you reach these objectives

Both books contain songs that have singable melodies and familiar rhythms that children remember. The songs are organized to support the sequential and developmental nature of learning music. Both resource books meet the requirements of the Ontario curriculum.

Each book contains:

  • long range plans with scope and sequence and a time line
  • lesson plans for each song and the method for teaching the required skills
  • "Help Pages" that explain staff notation, conducting patterns, hand signs and the rote method for teaching a song
  • "Teacher Cue" sections that accompany each song to help the teacher who has limited musical training
  • songs that are set up in monthly groupings to be used with the long range plans
