    This was a great resource for my students. They really enjoyed it!

    • Yellow Brick Road Music –

      I’m so happy to hear that! Thanks for the review.

  5. Charlotte L. –

    I used this resource for Grades 1-8. It was a useful resource to review the Elements of Music with my upper elementary students.

    • Yellow Brick Road Music –

      Thanks for the review! I’m glad it was helpful 🙂

  6. Maria B. –

    This is great for my classes who have almost no experience with music other than what they listen to through Spotify. It has helped me meet curriculum expectations in my split grade classes.

    • Yellow Brick Road Music –

      I love that you’ve used it in your split grade classes! Thanks so much for the kind review.

  7. Kristine V. –

    This was great. The slides are very well done and the instruction page with extra resources and lesson links were amazing.

    • Yellow Brick Road Music –

      Thanks so much for your review!

  8. Andrea C. –

    Saved me so much time as an LTO music teacher, would use again!

    • Yellow Brick Road Music –

      Thanks for your thoughtful review!

  9. Free MusicKey –

    Great resource! I liked the idea that students have an opportunity to explore the elements of music through their senses. Thank you!

    • Yellow Brick Road Music –

      That’s really great to hear! Thank you so much for your review!

  10. Kelly A. –

    This bundle is amazing. I love the video/audio clips. The topics are clear, the visuals clean.

    • Yellow Brick Road Music –

      Thank you Kelly!

  11. Kathleen N. –

    THIS RESOURCE IS THE ONLY REASON I HAVEN’T TORN ALL MY HAIR OUT YET. I am a teacher in a small private elementary school, and we have two classrooms for grades K-8. I am also the de facto music teacher on Thursdays, and I was FREAKING OUT about what and how I would teach such a wide variety of ages and skill levels. A GREAT place to start is the basics of music, and this resource has all the slideshows and links ready to go so there is minimal prep on the part of the teacher. Seriously, this is like my favorite thing in the whole universe and I will never no recommend it to others.

    • Yellow Brick Road Music –

      Your comment just made my day! I’m THRILLED that it was so helpful for you. I wanted it to be applicable to a wide range of ages, so I’m glad that it served that purpose for you!

  12. Magic with Miss Mihail –

    Absolutely amazing!

    • Yellow Brick Road Music –

      Thank you!

  13. Megan H. –

    This is what I’ve been waiting for. I don’t use a textbook to organize my scope and sequence, so this was a great base resource that I could pull from for any grade when I want to “officially” introduce a concept and explore it thoroughly. It includes way more than I need for each concept, and I appreciate that too!

    • Yellow Brick Road Music –

      Thank you so much!

  14. Kelli H. –

    I used this with my grade 6 general music as an introduction to musical elements. They really appreciated the videos and activities, and I was also able to use with with students who were learning at home. Thanks for all the work on this!

    • Yellow Brick Road Music –

      Thanks so much for the thoughtful feedback!

  15. Emily K. –

    I used this to do a beginning of the year unit with my 6th grade general music class. It was easy-to-use and ready-to-go and that’s what I needed.

    • Yellow Brick Road Music –

      I’m so glad it was helpful 🙂

  16. Beth M. –

    These presentations and extra lesson materials have made our music program very enjoyable this year. I can’t believe how thorough they are! Thanks!

    • Yellow Brick Road Music –

      I’m so glad it was helpful. Thanks for the feedback!

  17. Amy W. –

    The examples are really captivating – my kids could watch and listen to how each topic was defined! They understood so much better than having me say so – they could see it and hear it applied. Really great!

    • Yellow Brick Road Music –

      Thank you so much for the thorough and meaningful feedback. I truly appreciate it!

  18. Jenna S. –

    This saved me during hybrid learning last year! Each presentation is so well put together and my students loved all the different videos and activities. I felt like it really helped solidify their understanding of the music basics. Thank you!

    • Yellow Brick Road Music –

      I’m thrilled to hear that! Thanks so much for the kind and thoughtful feedback 🙂

  19. Trudy A. –

    Great resource, very useful in class to reinforce learning. The powerpoints were very lengthy, so I did edit them and make them more appropriate for yr 7. I appreciate the work that would have gone into developing these engaging resources that would be particularly useful for primary students.

    • Yellow Brick Road Music –

      Thanks for your feedback 🙂

  20. Maryse E. –

    This was a lifesaver for my first time teaching music! Students really enjoyed watching and listening to all the different clips and showed a clear understanding of the topic when we were done.

    • Yellow Brick Road Music –

      That’s wonderful! Thanks for the feedback 🙂
