This software could be used with any music group and although I used it for 3rd, 4th, and 5th it could be adapted to any age. This software promotes music and gives students the opportunity to play an instrument that is otherwise unavailable.  True it does not teach fingerings and technique, however, it gives the students the opportunity to hear the instrument and decide if it should be included as the melody or as harmony.  It also incorporates rhythm through a "Drum Mode".

Its motivational lyrics and dynamic melody describe the positive impact of music on our hope for the future and desire to achieve.  In preparation for participation in the MENC World’s Largest Concert, lower elementary students will sing the arrangement in unison with simple ostinato accompaniment using Orff instruments. Upper Elementary Students will perform the piece as written, depending on their level of proficiency.  They can play the melodic line on the recorder and can also use/create more complex Orff Accompaniments which outline the chord progressions of the song  They will  discuss ancient connections between magic and music particularly as outlined in the scientific theories of the Renaissance.  All students will discuss in a developmentally appropriate manner the moods and attitudes created by different types of music.

This lesson is to help an elementary classroom of children to quickly learn to sing a song about happy music and keeping a positive, upbeat attitude in our lives.  It is presented as if the class will meet once to learn the song and then only have time to review it at subsequent class meetings.  My classes meet once every 6 school days--contact time is precious and not frequent enough!  Kindergarten students and 5th graders will move through the lesson slower/faster than other grade levels, but all grades K-5 can learn the song fairly quickly using this lesson.
