Don't Build A Snowman

We've all had students who rush into a piece without checking hand position and start notes, and then proceed to "start over" a dozen times.  

​I was super inspired by an idea that was talked about in one of the music Facebook groups this week. It was based on the Hangman game kids play for guessing a word, and was geared towards helping students to play carefully rather than impulsively.

​
I love the idea, though I didn't really want to use Hangman, and then I saw someone suggested building a snowman instead of a hangman. Today I put together a PowerPoint activity that we will be using this month to get everyone ready for their Christmas Piano Postcards.  ​It worked so well in today's lessons that we'll be sharing it with the Piano-Together Club members later this month!

I received a copy of the Don't Build a Snowman game, but went to go print it out now, and I can't find it anymore. Could you send it to me once more please?

I think I was the one that suggested a snowman instead of hangman! I love this and saved it as flash cards. Now that I’ve finally learned how to use Google slides, would you be able to send it to me again?

Thanks for the suggestion Leanne! Yes, I can send it to you. Are you in the Piano Together Club? If so, it is included on this month’s giveaway email (sent out on Monday). If not, just PM me your email address on www.Facebook.com/pianoTogetherMusic, and I will email it to you ?
