Thank you for these nuggets about assessment! I remember watching this video some time ago and it helped me to understand what I needed to work on with assessment. I like that you acknowledge that you are still a learner and I'm interested to see where your thoughts lie on assessment now. Lately, I've been finding that assessment is most flawed when my goal is to only assess skills. I've done a bit of reading on concept-based curriculum and have found that when I can assess understanding of concepts (based on skills) then students are able to better make connections and transfer their learning. One thing I am still working on is making assessment of understanding manageable when seeing hundreds of students per week. I think this is where deciding on what's most important to assess comes in and really laying out curriculum so that it spirals. Thanks again for all your nuggets of information!!

Immensely valuable. As a professional composer recently "roped" into teaching at local preschool & elementary schools (long story), your videos have been a godsend. I can't thank you enough!

Where can I find the Repertory List and can you write out the syllables you use for quarter, half, whole dotted half, eighth and 16th notes, please. Thank you. I have done this same type of planning for years of teaching, but have never seen it put together this way. I have had to write my own music theory for elementary students from scratch and this has been helpful to know that I have always been on the right track. The challenge is finding music and activities for each concept. I have had to come up with all of this on my own. So this has been helpful. I am hoping to improve my curriculum as I teach through my scope and sequence that I have created. My situation is that I only see my students for 1 day a week, but for a whole hour.

Fantastic! Just discovered you today. I look forward to seeing all of your work!

Super helpful for getting me into my teaching and planning mindset for the beginning of school. Thank you!

You are a great singer. I’ve never had any vocal training as I’ve always went the band route rather than the choir route. Do you believe a new K-5 music teacher in my position would benefit from private singing lessons? I want to sing pleasantly for my students, teach proper singing technique, and also take care of my voice?

I love your activities. How do you maintain your voice when teaching all day. I teach 5 (one-hour) blocks. By the end of the day (Kindergarten) my voice is very tired.

Check the correct pronunciation of "Fandango" (and, as a consequence, "Sango") :)

Chords to "I've Waited All Day to See You" First half ("I've waited all day"): I V I / I V I Second half ("But now that you are here"): vi IV / vi V I

That sounds like a really idiotic game that only an idiot would agree to play.

Your videos are so professional! It's been hard finding resources that are sequenced efficiently and have accurate content. Thank you for taking the time to edit your video, make things clear, etc.! I subscribed in the first 30 seconds, and I am excited to see more of your content!

So helpful!!! Thank you!

Thank you for all your resources. I appreciate your videos and your non-overwhelming method approach to teaching music. :)

Thank you! This is incredibly helpful for a first time elementary music teacher here! Thank you for all your resources and amazing content!

Thank you!

Thank you! I purchased your First Days back package and LOVE it. It's so important for me to actually see a live example and you singing and showing the songs and activities is what I've always been waiting for. It's wonderful.

Thanks! Definitely will have to try Jump Jump Wiggle Wiggle next month!

Do you have the name games as a separate document that is for purchase?

The kids would love to play the drum for the ladder song what's easy for them if they are fourth and fifth

The chords pls❤

I love your videos , can you make a video for ukuleles beginners how to strum and make nice sound

Thank you for your music!!

Your videos are so very helpful. I struggle with kindergarten. While they are sweet and adorable, they are also so very squirmy. Thanks! More teachers should be watching!

I wish I can get PD for watching this! Thank you so much for all of this VALUABLE information! Not all heroes wear capes =)

Have you ever sang a Haitian song called Feuilles-o?? I don't know why, but this song reminds me of it so much...

This is so lovely; good to be reminded that songs we use to teach are often beautiful gems!

This was so helpful! I'm entering year 6 but I've struggled with following a scope and sequence consistently. I really love the idea of the values driving the planning and the breathing room. Thank you!

This is so helpful for a new teacher. Thank you, Victoria! I love your organization and you have the most engaging voice. :)

This is a super helpful reminder to work from values first. It came at a good time for me--thank you!

Thank you for this video, I've been reworking my yearly plans and this helped to get me focused. Keep it up!

Currently binging Music Teacher RUclips in preparation for my new job as a K-5 Music Teacher this fall. (Last year I taught 5th grade math and am excited to switch to music) Thanks for all the tips!

I really enjoy your presentation ❤❤

How do you handle ese kids that can't focus or follow basic directions for anything? I had this one girl that constantly rolled on the floor and hid under her seat. She wouldnt listen or follow classroom rules. I wasnt allowed to write referrals because she was ese. Infact, last year half of my class was ese kids. It was very difficult and I honestly felt like quitting 😢

You're so good at this

Love this!

Music teacher from Australia here watching. This video is very timely! Thanks for sharing, @victoriaboler!

This is great! Please make more content like this. The descriptions really help.

Can you be my cousin? I'm also a Boler 😆

Great stuff! Moving games are awesome

Outstanding videos always! Your passion for teaching and methodology is overflowing! For me, there has always been a difference between how music teachers talk, and how the rest of the school talks (ie, music talk vs. ELA talk). You have bridged that gap for me, and I have never seen that effectively done in my years of teaching. Your approach connects both worlds, and although this might not be something particularly new to many music teachers, it certainly feels relatively new to me, so a great big "Thank You" for that. *I hope that all makes sense. I also want to echo others' sentiments that you have a beautiful voice. And lastly, the production quality of your videos (and website, and other things) is ALWAYS top notch! Super impressive! Keep up the outstanding work!

I love your clarity. I am a retired. MSW & dance therapist and love call and response play. hi implement your ideas with my grandchildren since I’m retired.

Your students are blessed to have you as their Music teacher!!

Victoria, thank you for your amazing work as always! You are beautiful inside and out!! With gratitude always!!

Thank you so much for sharing your ideas. You have such a lovely voice.

1:02 for improv, students could create tonal patterns on a neutral syllable for a more musical improvisation instead of words on the same two notes.

This is so helpful! I think that classroom teachers would love your scaffolding and explanations of why it all works together.
