Freebies

“If you can walk, you can dance, and if you can talk you can sing.” – Zimbabwean Proverb

Welcome PARENTS, GUARDIANS, and TEACHERS in search of quick and free resources to keep kids busy. I’ve been a music teacher for 10 years. To help with the CoVid-19 pandemic, I’m providing some of my original content (as well as some of my favorite open-source materials) for use by school teachers going digital and homeschooling families. Ages/Grades are approximate and subjective; 1:1 and group lessons are available online by registration. If you repost, I ask that you provide a link back to SpringerMusicStudio.com

While you’re at home, may I suggest you collect any musical instruments you may have lying around the house (drums, cymbals, bells, shakers, etc.) Make a music center near a TV or computer screen; you may wish to connect your TV to a tablet.

DON’T MISS THE 1st SMS ONLINE UNIT, which aired in March about Australia. Download the free, accompanying PDF courtesy of Singing Bell. You might also enjoy freebies from Sing-Play-Create and Preschool Prodigies. Watch our video about Music Readiness

Should you wish to obtain some tonal instruments for this age group, consider ordering from West Music rather than Amazon:
