Description
What if every student had their own music dictionary, with a picture for every word? Students who can't read yet, students learning English, and students who just need a quick reminder can all flip open their booklet and find the word they need.
Created by Cindy Kamp of MusicKamp, a National Board Certified Music Teacher with 22 years of PK–6 classroom experience teaching general music, band, strings, and chorus.
What's Included (6-page booklet)
- Cover: "My Music Words," with a space for the student's name

- Instruments 2: classroom instruments grouped by sound, including shakers, metal, wood, drums, and Boomwhackers (10 instruments)
- Music Words: notes and rests (whole, half, quarter, eighth), tempo, dynamics, pitch, and feelings
- How the Music Feels: 8 feelings for responding to music
- Other Music Words: tempo, beat, rhythm (ta and ti-ti), melody, and dynamics (p and f), each with a kid-friendly definition
Perfect For
- ELL/MLL and newcomer students
- Pre-readers and early readers
- Students who learn best with visuals
- Music centers, listening lessons, and composition activities
- Substitute plans and new-student welcome folders
Why Teachers Love It
- A picture for every word, so students can use it on their own.
- Accurate music vocabulary, including correct notes and rests, instrument families, and forte and piano.
- The same visuals as the MusicKamp Newcomer Toolkit (cheetah for fast, turtle for slow, bird for high), so the two work together.
- A booklet of their own. Students write their name on the cover and keep it all year.
Pairs perfectly with my Music Classroom Newcomer Toolkit. https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/ELL-Newcomer-Music-Toolkit-Visual-Supports-Sentence-Frames-for-Music-Class-17865558
