Themes & Variations

Author: Denise Gagne

For teachers with a Smartboard, IWB or computer/projector

What's included:
Every musical selection that is in Musicplay for Kindergarten is given in 3 formats

1. PowerPoint with audio
2. QuickTime movies of the song lyrics - just click and the song plays, switching the slides for you
3. Smartboard Files (audio is inserted into the one slide lyrics)

Each presentation includes:

• Musical notation of each song for the teacher's use
• Song lyrics with colourful illustrations - great for shared reading!
• One slide lyrics: All the lyrics for each song are given on one slide for times that the teacher doesn't want to click through a PowerPoint. This slide in the notebook file will have the audio included.
• Colour coded Boomwhacker melodies for simple reading and scale songs
• Slides to teach students to read rhythms, and simple so-mi melodies
• Orff arrangements
• PDF files of all the PowerPoints
• Searchable Excel index
• Kids demo movies of some of the singing games and Christmas songs
• Links to excellent websites
• If teachers have a Smartboard in their classroom, they can use all the interactivity of the board when using the Smart Notebook files.
