Keep Your Eyes on Me

If we had a dollar for every time we asked our upper-elementary and middle school choir students to watch us while they sing, we'd all be rich! The goal in this offering is to give you four quick, memorable, fun activities to help your young singers learn how important it is to watch the conductor while they sing! You can use the activities all at once or break them up over time. Each activity will take under five minutes to teach. You will get a lot of mileage out of these exercises, and the ideas will make you think of even more ways to help your students learn the importance of watching the conductor. This resource includes: a 15-page PowetPoint presentation with guidelines and rules for the four activities; YouTube video links of "Mr D" talking to the camera - directly to you - to describe in detail how he uses the activities with his students; and YouTube video links of Mr D actually doing the activities with his beginning choir students.
