Thanks to @ICTmagic on twitter for pointing out this brilliant ball dropping game.
I am a primary school teacher on a mission to learn how to teach music. I have no specialist skills. Just enthusiasm.

I have a classroom!
I am incredibly excited! I have just started teaching music 2 days a week at St Teresa's school. They have have created a wonderful music room that is fit for purpose. There is wi fi, access to youtube , 15 netbooks and an interactive whiteboard. But even more importantly there is a senior management team who are committed to providing a creative and engaging curriculum for EVERY child. Looking forward to Monday!

Boomwhackers
I have recently discovered boomwhackers!
There was a dusty set lurking at the back of our music cupboard that I have never seen anyone use. Some fellow tweeters gave me advice & a quick google was enough to give me some ideas for the classroom. I am now a fan. Had a brilliant response from all the classes that used them. Year 3 and 4 loved it and managed to play some recognisable tunes. Also every member of staff that came in the staffroom couldn't resist having a turn too. Smiles all round
Have now ordered another couple of sets. Click here for a look at their website . I plan to post some videos of my classes using them in September.
