    VIP Music Room 5.7 The Elementary Music Concert Guide

    The Elementary Music Concert. You know it's one of the biggest moments in your class (whether you like it or not), and definitely something your students will remember. Especially if their adults took 100+ pictures to mark the occasion. But planning a concert for elementary students is not as simple as picking out some songs and teaching the repertoire. Even more goes into it if you do a musical or have to do your own arranging/script writing/etc. No matter what you do, concert planning is not for the weak, and can be difficult if you've never done one before. (Hello new teachers who missed student teaching concerts!) No matter what your experience with performances, I hope The Elementary Music Concert Guide helps you get some great ideas, create a prep list, and make performance planning less stressful! https://mrsstouffersmusicroom.com/the-elementary-music-concert-guide/

Canons and partner songs seem like the obvious answers, but there are ways you can start students before you approach those! Starting partwork activities with young students can make those harmony parts seem a lot less daunting. Here are some ways to prep your students for part singing.
