Free 4th Grade Music Resources (by date, oldest first)

LONG OVERDUE, but here it is in all of its glory!

Nearly 300 Bucket Drumming Arrangements, Resources, Games, and more in the OFFICIAL Mr. Litt's Music Room Bucket Drumming Anthology!

This free resource is a comprehensive list of everything in the store, alphabetized and grouped by genre, difficulty level, and other resources.

This will be updated each time there is a new resource added, so feel free to peruse or download every so often :)

Clickable links are in the PDF and Word Document files which take you straight to the page to purchase or add to your wish list.

If you're working on melodic contours, high and low, and direction, this may be for you!

Included are 16 printable cards you can reproduce, cut out, and issue to your students.

Play these melodies on a piano, clarinet, slide whistle, however you wish! Then, ask the students to place the card which they think best resembled the melody you played.
Although there are 16 cards, you can ask students to do 4 cards a time (by telling them which cards they are to us), play the melody, and then they can choose from the multiple choice answers you allotted to them.

The image files can be put into a powerpoint as well and you can us it as an answer key after you play the melodic example.

Have fun with this on your quest to discover melodious melodies
