Trying to pick a recorder method book for my 3rd grade students. Has anyone used the LMI book? Thoughts? #UFMUE

[Brandon Gaillot @BrandonGaillot]

Used my Google slides project for #UFMUE and my students loved it!! They used it to learn about the instruments and their respective families.

“The music is not in the notes, but in the silence in between.” – Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

So true! I teach my high school students that the notes are important, but the space in between them is more important. #UFMUE

My first grade students are learning about various cultures. It's so interesting, even for me, to learn about other types of instruments from other lands. #UFMUE

For all those Male elementary teachers, do you sing in your falsetto voice to match your students range? Is it better to do this? #UFMUE

[Brandon Gaillot @BrandonGaillot]

In one of my PD meetings at my school, we talked about the SAMR model. The same week we talk about it in my grad class at #UFMUE

[Brandon Gaillot @BrandonGaillot]

This week, I begin teaching my second graders about the various instruments and their respective families. Anyone have any helpful resources to teach this besides bringing in my own instruments and showcasing them? #UFMUE

While working on my social bookmarking assignment, I found this great channel with iconic notation for a lot of fun songs: https://t.co/SeF6wBhxmG #UFMUE

I found out my students have been begging the computer teacher at my school to use Incredibox again when they have free time! Right on! #UFMUE

Teaching my 1st grade students a dance to "Los Machetes" this week for their Mexico section of the multicultural music unit. Can we use sombreros? 😂 #culture #UFMUE

[Brandon Gaillot @BrandonGaillot]

Having a little too much fun remixing "Mahna Mahna" for a grad class. Thanks to #UFMUE for showing me Audacity!

[Brandon Gaillot @BrandonGaillot]

Think elementary students could handle this? I would totally love to try it! #ufmue

Taking 2nd grade music to the computer lab to use Incredibox was a complete success! They were so engaged! They learned about different sounds, and how they can mix these different sounds and create something brand new, each time. #UFMUE

[Brandon Gaillot @BrandonGaillot]

Can anyone guess where this melody actually came from? #UFMUE

[Brandon Gaillot @BrandonGaillot]

Taking my second grade classes into the computer lab next week to dive into Incredibox for their "Careers in Music" unit. They are so excited to become music producers. Thank you #UFMUE for showing me this program!!

Interesting... never thought of it like that. #ufmue

[Brandon Gaillot @BrandonGaillot]

It's so much fun trying to hear people pronounce these places that aren't from here 😂😂

@apondmusic I am in person 100%. We are definitely doing a lot of listening to music and moving to music. My third graders are even doing an easy music history unit this year.

[Brandon Gaillot @BrandonGaillot]

What a challenge this year is...teaching general music to PreK through 3rd grade with no singing. Time to break out some music history, dancing, and percussion instruments. Let's go! #musiced #UFMUE

[Brandon Gaillot @BrandonGaillot]

The small things in life 😂😂😂 love this!!! #ufmue

Take a moment to compose something silly. #UFMUE https://t.co/yx3hKXVOsi

It is not our abilities that show what we truly are. It is our choices.
