Elementary Resource #1: ¾ and 4/4 time strum arrows
Directions: Use these color-coded arrows to assist in teaching the down strum to your elementary students. The arrows act as a reminder of which way to strum. The numbers will help students keep musical time as they work on keeping a steady beat in 4/4 or ¾ time.
Strum Arrows for 4/4 TimeElementary Resource #2: Proficiency Scale Playing Journal
Directions: Your teacher book came with a playing journal that will work as you advance through playing. This NEW resource is for the first few days of playing. Students draw a smiley face (positive reinforcement) in the box that matches how they played for the day. They will then set a goal for themselves for next class as to which box they hope to reach with more practice. The bottom of the page has space for students or teachers to write practice reminder notes for students. Use this with your SLO or Student Growth Plan! It tracks growth really well!
