Strategies

(Primary Level)
Use of Visuals and Props
Visual aids like charts showing musical notes or props like scarves help make abstract musical
concepts more concrete for young learners.

Storytelling through Music


Using music to tell stories, where musical sounds represent different characters or events in the
narrative.

Use of Instruments (Percussion)


Simple percussion instruments (like tambourines, maracas, or drums) allow children to explore
rhythm and sound.

Movement and Action Songs


Incorporating movement with music, such as clapping, jumping, or dancing, to help students
connect physical activity with musical concepts.

Repetition and Familiarity


Continuously revisiting the same song, activity, or musical concept to help students develop
mastery and confidence.

(Intermediate)
Use Interactive Technology
Incorporate apps and software that aid in learning music theory, ear training, and practice.

Create Simple Lyrics


Writing straightforward and easy-to-understand lyrics that help students practice their
songwriting skills and express their ideas creatively.
Hands-On Instrumental Practice
Providing students with opportunities to play various instruments, either individually or in
groups, to develop their technical skills and musical understanding.

Active Listening
Encouraging students to listen attentively to different styles and genres of music to develop their
analytical and critical listening skills.

Group Activities and Performances


Encourage collaboration through group activities and performance opportunities to develop
social and musical skills.

(Primary and Intermediate)

Keep boredom at bay by using a variety of tasks.


There isn’t much shorter than the attention span of a child today. New technologies are making it
easier for us to read and learn in short bursts. It is getting harder for young people to focus on
one topic or task for a long period of time. Fit your lessons to your students’ concentration levels

Be aware of your students’ differing skill levels.


Different students have different skill levels and different needs. Make sure the tasks you set are
appropriate for each student.

Teach music your students like and can relate to.


Engage your students instantly by teaching them their favorite songs or genres.

Let your positive attitude shine through.


Every music class is different and the constant planning can be overwhelming. Many teachers
complain that they feel like they spend as much time planning as they do actually teaching! But
this planning pays off and can make your teaching far more effective. Having a good strategy for
planning – planning your planning, if you like – means that your time isn’t wasted. Treat your
planning time as time for your own inspiration to come through. You will feel proud of your
plans and putting them into action in the classroom will give you pleasure.
