Complete Music Focus Wall System | Objectives Board, I Can Statements & Music Word Wall | General Music + Band

I’m a National Board Certified Music Teacher with 22 years of PK–6 experience, teaching general music, band, strings, and chorus. A specialist’s schedule needs a board that can keep up with every grade and every ensemble, so I built this complete Music Focus Wall system to do exactly that.

What’s Included (53 pages)

Part 1: Music Focus Wall Kit (20 pages)

• “Music Focus Wall” title banner
• 4 focus area boxes: Our Big Idea, Vocabulary, Music Skills, I Can…
• “Music for Everyone • Every Grade • A Lifelong Journey” motivational banner
• 8 grade level cards, Pre-K through 6th Grade
• 4 ensemble cards: Beginning Band, Concert Band, String Orchestra, Chorus
• Illustrated directions with a suggested layout

Part 2: Music Focus Wall Inserts (33 pages, about 200 cards)

• 96 illustrated vocabulary cards covering the elements of music, notes and rests, rhythm and notation, melody and pitch, dynamics and articulation, form, harmony, instrument families, tempo, and rehearsal terms
• 41 general music learning targets that build from “Explore sounds” up to “Analyze and evaluate”
• 47 ensemble learning targets, organized into Tone & Sound, Note Reading, Technique, Rhythm & Pulse, Expression, Ensemble Skills, Performance, and Rehearsal & Responsibility
• 8 I Can cards and 6 Music Skills cards
• A blank, write-your-own target page
• Insert directions

Perfect For

• K–6 music specialists who see every grade
• Band, orchestra, and chorus directors
• Posting objectives for administrators and observations
• Setting up a new music room, or giving an old one a refresh
• ELL/MLL students and visual learners, since every word has a picture

What Makes It Different

• It’s complete. You get the frame and the content together, so there’s no blank board and no writing out objectives every week.
• It covers general music and ensembles in one system, because most of us teach both.
• It’s reusable. Laminate the pieces, then swap the inserts as your units change. You can use dry erase markers on the blank pieces.
• You save about 20% compared with buying the kit and inserts separately.

Format: PDF, 53 pages, for 8.5" × 11" paper or cardstock. Color printing is recommended. The board fits a standard 36" × 48" bulletin board and can be rearranged for smaller spaces. Licensed for single-classroom use.
