Music Play www.musicplay.ca
Musicplay is an award winning music curriculum for elementary schools. Musicplay is a sequential curriculum with lessons that follow the calendar year. The weekly lesson outlines the new concepts that will be taught, those that will be reviewed, and include seasonal and holiday repertoire. The planning is done for the teacher! Musicplay is aligned to the national standards of both Canada and the USA. Curriculum correlations for many provinces and states are available upon request.
Musical concepts are taught through play. Each week in Grades 1-5 a new singing game is featured. The songs and games are chosen to teach musical concepts, to teach children about Canada and about cultures around the world, and to provide songs for special days and performances throughout the school year. The most important factor in selecting songs for this series, is that songs appeal to children! There are many additional activities in the teacher\'s guides to have the students creating rhythm compositions, creating soundscapes, and creating accompaniments to poems and stories.
The Musicplay teacher’s guides include CD recordings with more than 100 musical selections per grade level. The Listening Resource Kits provide the most comprehensive listening component of any music curriculum in North America. The Listening Resource Kits feature recordings from the library of the CBC. Musicplay is the first music text in Canada (or the USA) to offer PowerPoints of every song in the program. Our electronic editions feature music that has been re-formatted to fit the screen. Our music is larger and easier to read because we’ve sized the page to correctly fit on a Smartboard or screen.
Musicplay is the only Canadian music program with piano accompaniments for every grade level. Our piano accompaniments are exceptional. The arrangements are interesting, well formatted, easy to use, easy to read, and very playable. Chord symbols are included and vocal parts are given on a separate staff.
Musicplay supports and enhances science, social studies, and language arts curriculums. Musicplay is a curriculum that can be used by a classroom teacher with limited musical training. Music specialists appreciate the planning and sequencing that is done for them. Musicplay is widely used throughout Canada and the USA and in many international schools.

It is quite often structurally complex, technically demanding, experimental, and dramatic. In many cases this music is not for the musically unschooled. It is our hope that through music education (which often starts in schools) and through promotion, we can bring awareness to the fact that schooled music learning can lead not only to Classical and Jazz, but also to Rock and Pop.
