To help develop practical instrumental and voice skills, as well as vocal music literacy, there are several different types of small projects that you can use are engaging and also help teach music to kids. Students can:
● Create a remix of a song that they enjoy or add vocals over instrumentals.
● Write two-three minutes of a video game or movie soundtrack.
● Cover a song in a new way.
● Use technology programs to write music.
● Play a song live for their classmates.
In addition to composing music, students can create videos instructing future music classroom students on concepts that they have learned. They might also create a music classroom newsletter to share learning with a wider audience.
If you have a dream of teaching music to kids, then the Bachelor of Arts in Music Education degree program at Grand Canyon University can help get you into a music classroom.
