Participation Scale in the Elementary Music Room

Easy Elementary Music Centers

Here are some easy to put together stations that could be used in the Elementary Music Room classroom.  I teach in a K and 1 building and these were great for our students!

 

 Set out some instruments that students know and let them name the instrument and play them too!

Mallet Station - practice Mummy Mallets (rest position), Motorcycle Mallets (Play Position), Mouse Mallets (Play Gently), and Mallet Limbo (a game to practice playing gently).
