Montessori Music Lessons, Story of the Grand Staff, Tone Bar Sequence
I just wanted to take a moment to offer you a little list of the Montessori music lessons, as given to us by the trainers at the Montessori Institute of Milwaukee. For copyright reasons, I can't give you the full scripts or illustrations. This list does, however, contain summaries of the lessons, as well as a descriptions and a section that clarifies the music theory behind each lesson.
Also, I don't mind passing along this Story of the Grand Staff, which was written by Jennifer Hughes and given to me by another colleague. It's a wonderful Cosmic Story. This PDF comes complete with illustrations.
Finally, I want to offer you a document which contains the entire tone bar sequence. Joe Pounds wrote the document in 2011 and it has been in wide circulation ever since.
Also, you can pay a visit to my friends at the Montessori Commons, who also have a list of the music lessons.
If you have any questions about the lessons, or about any of the musical concepts behind them, feel free to contact me.
