Making Music in Montessori

Everything Montessori Teachers need to harness their inner musician and bring music to life in their classrooms

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.
