Start your Kindergarten and 1st Grade music curriculum with four ready-to-teach, sequential elementary music lessons!
This Kindergarten & 1st Grade Music Unit 1 introduces young musicians to steady beat, singing voice, movement, listening, and foundational music concepts through songs, singing games, movement activities, and hands-on music experiences.
Rather than a collection of disconnected activities, the lessons are intentionally sequenced so students build their musical understanding from one lesson to the next. Each lesson includes objectives, materials, step-by-step teaching procedures, and optional listening extensions, making it easy to plan your first weeks of elementary general music.
