MusiCounts has created a new program to help teachers and parents keep students engaged with music education at home. MusiCounts Learn is a space for teachers and parents to #StayInTune with the latest resources and conversations around music education in Canada. This will help ensure more kids have access to music education, both inside and outside the classroom.

Stay Home Music Activities
At a time when we're all being asked to Stay Home, I'm sending good vibes in the form of music activities for you and the people you are staying home with. Whether you are looking to have some fun or need activities for your kids, I've compiled these links for you. Most of these activities refer to groups of people, but the activities work equally as well with 2-5 people, roughly the number of people in one household. Adapt by reducing the number of parts, and putting one person to a part.
The Toolbox currently features grade-specific music education resources addressing fundamentals of rhythm, meter, singing, form, dynamics, articulation, tempo, pitch, and performing.
Designed for educators looking to infuse the arts into their educational practices, The Kennedy Center has developed a robust collection of hundreds of digital learning resources, including lessons, articles, performance guides, how-tos, and more. All resources are available for free.
