A Different Musician
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 13 ธ.ค. 2021
Hi! I'm Sarah. As an elementary music educator, nothing makes me happier than when I can see things click for students- their smiles, their laughter, their success. And I love helping them get to that point, the point where they are making music independently and feeling awesome about it!
I've been teaching in public schools for ten years, and my biggest takeaway has been that a focus on creating meaning in the music-making processes leads to greater success overall, not just in the end-goal. That means meaningful and fun literature, accessible music-making tools, and attention to the language and habits built in the music classroom.
And that's why I'm here- to help other elementary music teachers bring joy and meaning to their classrooms beyond the music.

I like this video ☺️☺️☺️😻😻😻
Hello, this is amazing. Can you please share how you did this? Or what application did you use to create this? Thank you very much.
Thanks! I use Procreate and iMovie to piece together and synchronize screen recordings to match up with the music. It's fun but definitely time-intensive.
You are the Best miss dean ❤❤❤❤❤❤🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🌼🌼🌼🌼
Hi miss dean i am Elena ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼
My class really likes this video. We can't wait for you to make a new one :) :) :)
I love nigers
Tried this with my ks1 class and they absolutely loved it. We did it 3 times!! The music is great with this fast and slow. Could you please make more of these asap as I will be using these musicians regularly and I don’t want them to get bored of the same ones being repeated. At the movement I think there were 5. A big thank you for these amazing videos you have put together!!
I am Elena ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ hi miss dean
Absolutely amazing!! I can't wait to try this with the class
Thank you so much, this will be incredible!
This is Ms. Dean's class. We love this video. It is one of our favorites. Thank you so much!

Awesome! Thank you so much! So you already had it planned when I asked for it hehe <3
Yay!!!! Adding this to my lessons today! Thank You!
Could you pleaaase please do the nutcracker suite? I'd love to use it in december :)
Oh, I've got ideas for that! Keep your eyes peeled!
Thank you so much, my primary (elementary) students love these! If you take requests into account I think the Dance of the Sugar Plum fairy would be amazing as the holidays approach. But honestly just keep these coming, we love them all!! Thank you! ❤❤❤
I am so happy to hear that about your students! Funny you should mention Sugar Plum Fairy... I am definitely planning on some Nutcracker tracing videos. Keep your eyes peeled! 👀
I like it but it's so hard with the background music.
Tracing
This is EVERYTHING!!!! My first grade students cannot get enough and they are always asking for this brain break.
That is so awesome to hear!!
Love this and so very musically interpreted! Many thanks for sharing🤩
You are very welcome!
I am absolutely mesmerized! Haha. I can't wait to show my students.
Thanks! Hope they enjoy :)
Great! Thank you! :)
I Love this idea! Thank you for sharing!
Yay!! I'm so glad these are back! Thank you.
Oh, I'm gearing up for winter videos now! Get ready!
This is amazing!! More like this please!

This is so cute my kids are obsessed. Would love if you made more videos like it :)
That is so sweet! :)
Sarah, I've been looking forward to introducing boomwhackers. I think I am finally brave enough to try it! Do you try the scale, whole class the first day, after teaching Hot Cross Buns and having several students playing with you on 1 note?
Hi! I'd definitely try it on day 1. You don't even have to name it. Or you could call it the scale but equate it to ingredients, and then say for Hot Cross Buns, your ingredients are Do Re Mi (or C D E, or F G A, or G A B). And depending on how many kids you have, you can give one note per kid, or double up- two kids have C, two have D, and so on. Just make sure they know to play all together on their note!
My students are always so thrilled when they can play up the scale, down the scale, then up and down in one go!
@@adifferentmusician Thank you, Sarah, for both responses! I really appreciate it so much. I have two 4th grade classes tomorrow.... wish me luck. ☺
This is really helpful! Thank you :)
You’re welcome!
This was literally the best! First we traced it with our finger. Then the second time, I gave them all paper and pencils and they had to trace it on their papers without looking. Then when it was all done we all looked at our scribbled masterpieces! It was so fun and their reactions were priceless! Thank you! Please make more like these!!!!
That is such a good idea!! I'm glad they liked it! My kids said their arms were sore... oops 😆 Did you like the shapes? The speed? The colors?
Wow! Great info. Thanks for the tips. I look forward to following you and starting my classes on the Boomwhackers (I really don't like that name. It infers hitting. :(

Hi Sarah! I’m an early childhood music teacher. I’m curious if you’ve had experience with little ones ( 6 mos to 4 years?) I’m looking for some fresh ideas and inspiration for my lessons!
Hi! I do not have any early childhood experience, unfortunately. I think exposure to live music, scarves and stuffed animals, and the ability to touch and play basic instruments like drums is probably where I'd start if I were to, say, run a library program for little ones and caregivers.
I and my students love It. Thanks from Italy
Grazie a te e ai tuoi studenti!
Thank you for making these. I'm going to use them with my first graders. Keep them coming. :)
These are amazing! Perfect for kindergarten brain breaks. Thank you so much and please, keep them coming!
