  1. Adrienne S. –

    Great bundle of resources. The layout was super easy to follow. I liked the pre questions and post questions section. The use of imagery helped my students to associate the sounds and the topic that we were discussing. Great resource.

    • Yellow Brick Road Music –

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

  2. Kelly H. –

    The attention to details, such as the images and sound files, on this resource is amazing. This is the perfect small group or individual review tool for my students. They can self-pace through the topics as needed or as assigned.

    • Yellow Brick Road Music –

      Thanks so much for the thoughtful and detailed feedback!

  3. Amanda Woudsma –

    This was an outstanding resource that I relied on heavily when we were forced into online learning. They formed the basis of all my online music lesson in years 3-6.
    Thank you 🙂

    • Yellow Brick Road Music –

      I’m thrilled to hear that it was helpful to you during that time! Thanks for the valuable feedback.

  4. Joseph G. –

    Students enjoy clicking through the different decks as asynchronous activities, tho I use them also during synchronous lessons.

    • Yellow Brick Road Music –

      I’m glad that you’re able to use them both ways. Thanks for the feedback!

  5. Lindsay Waller –

    Great thank you!

    • Yellow Brick Road Music –

      Thanks for the feedback!

  6. Heather B. –

    Beautifully designed and easy to navigate. An excellent resource for working on the elements of music.

    • Yellow Brick Road Music –

      Thank you for such thoughtful feedback. I truly appreciate it!

  7. Jennifer L. –

    I have found this resource very useful when explaining concepts to students.

    • Yellow Brick Road Music –

      Awesome! Thank you 🙂

  8. Samantha S. –

    I just started using this resource in my classroom. I love that all the google slides are already prepared & ready to go.

    • Yellow Brick Road Music –

      Thanks for the feedback. I’m so glad it’s been helpful 🙂

  9. Lauren Platt –

    Oh my goodness I would not have made it through my first marking period as a first year teacher without this bundle! The slides are all scaffolded in a really great way for students to look at and understand really easily. They were very simple to use with both Powerpoint and Google Slides too.

    • Yellow Brick Road Music –

      Your comment just made my day! I’m so glad I was able to help. Thanks for your kind and thoughtful feedback 🙂

  10. Deborah J B. –

    I purchased the entire bundle when this was on sale! I’m very happy with it. So far I have used the slide deck on beat and rhythm but I plan to use them all with 3rd and 5th due to their standards. I’ve used it with 2nd grade to reiterate the difference between beat and rhythm and I’m hoping to use the dynamics deck for 1st grade. I will be interested to see how they do with this at a distance because they are so young but this whole bundle is good for distance learning or in the classroom.

    • Yellow Brick Road Music –

      Thank you for such thoughtful and thorough feedback. I truly appreciate it!

  11. Sabrina Ruffolo –

    Being a first time rotary music teacher, this was a HUGE help in setting up a fun and engaging program!

    • Yellow Brick Road Music –

      That’s great! I’m glad it was helpful 🙂

  12. Megan R. –

    A great resource, and especially great for my middle schoolers! Presenting “the basics” in a way that does not feel too young for them is such a great feeling! My students and I all love interacting with this bundle!

    • Yellow Brick Road Music –

      Thank you Megan! I’m so glad they’ve enjoyed it 🙂

  13. Juliet B. –

    This entire bundle is fantastic for distance learning. The kids can do it on their own or as a directed lesson. I just pick out the slides that I want and create activities to go with them. They are clear, the musical examples and the sound clips are great. I am using this a lot!

    • Yellow Brick Road Music –

      Thanks so much for the great feedback!

  14. Sandra Jean P. –

    I used this as whole class lessons. I did have to replace one song in a few spots in the beat slide deck so far due to cultural sensitivity. Overall, good examples for students.

    • Yellow Brick Road Music –

      **edited to add that I replaced the song “Yankee Doodle” with Alton Adam’s “Virgin Islands March”

      Hi Sandra, Thank you for your thorough and meaningful feedback. If you would, please let me know which song you had to replace. I’m extremely interested in ensuring that my examples are both culturally sensitive and that they represent a diverse population. Please email me at theylbrickroad@gmail.com. Thanks again for your valuable feedback!

  15. Grace K. –
