Mixing It Up! Sandy and Gretchen are very excited to share lessons integrating many mediums you can use in class! You'll find recorder, drums, ukulele, movement, and barred instruments integrated into the lessons. These activities offer hands-on activities, while differentiating instruction for varying ability levels. 

From beginning ukulele and recorder pieces to more challenging drum and mallet selections, our lesson plans are written as recipes for process teaching. This book strives use all your musical "stuff" with excellent Orff process lesson planning. In other words, Sandy and Gretchen   are Mixing It UP!

 Supplemental materials include projection-ready visuals, student songsheets, and more!

 Ukuleles help students learn chord progressions, vocabulary, and how to accompany songs and melodies. The timbre supports the child's singing voice helping students hear and sing harmony accurately. 

 This book has full Orff-style orchestrations for your Orff music classes. Some songs include creative movement, folk dances, improvisation, and unique folk style instruments.

 Supplemental materials include a booklet with copy-ready lyric sheets, individual song sheets, and projection-ready visuals.

 Your favorite children's books come alive in your music classroom with the songs and creative lesson plans developed by Sandy and Gretchen and presented successfully in level courses and conferences around the country. 

 Each book is read and embellished with songs, games, movement, puppetry, and drama. There's never been a better way to present important music concepts than through engaging young musicians with story, reading, and song.
