If your site is 1:1 or looking to add a digital component to your music project, Wixie provides a canvas students your young musicians can use to compose melodies, document their work in music, and demonstrate their learning.
Use these templates and ideas to inspire your use of digital creativity tools for music education.
The Wixie Templates library includes a folder of music activities you can use to help students learn to identify instruments, sounds, and rhythm as well as play compositions on keyboards and xylophones.
Students can access a collection of musical notation in the Wixie's Sticker library (Image button). This collection shows automatically when students use templates like Compose a Melody.
Wixie includes keyboards, xylophones, and percussion tubes activities students can use to practice reading and playing music!
Try it! Click the rowboat in the activity. Then, try playing the song by clicking the piano keys!
Combine computational thinking and Wixie to have students compose music or recreate melodies.
Second grade music students successfully read s-l-s-m and s-m patterns and matched them to their songs! #Wixie #MusicLiteracy #MusicEducation #WeAreVBSchools @Thalia_Ele @crystal_wilky pic.twitter.com/f05AnztuFj
