‘Journey to the Stars’ | Piano Party Kit

Get your students excited about learning music appreciation and composition! A ‘Piano Party’ is a great way to run an engaging music group class, deepen their understanding and appreciation of music, give students some peer performance ‘concert practice’, and help them build friendships with other ‘music kids’!

This bundle includes all the resources you need to run a successful, educational and fun ‘Party-style’ group class, filled with music appreciation, inspiration and opportunity.

This teaching kit includes:

• All the Prep & Planning: The planning kit gives you the editable ‘Party’ invitations; the group teaching plan; a ‘running order’ to guide you on the day; and lots of other ideas and helpful suggestions to run your own successful ‘Piano Party’… (a.k.a. music group class!) The planning kit is built in google files, so it is fully editable and easy to use.
• A ‘party starter’ Rhythm Game: Get your students ‘feeling the beat’, improving their coordination, and getting to know each other with this fun clapping game.
• The ‘party’ Planning Kit includes a ‘click link’ to the ‘Journey to the Stars’ musical story telling session, by Marshall Cavendish – based on ‘The Planets’ by Gustav Holst. A great introduction to music appreciation! And we have also included a ‘click link’ to a curated playlist of short, ‘music-positive’ and funny videos, to use at the beginning, while students settle in, and you wait for everyone to arrive.
• The ‘Outer Space’ Composition Activity Kit with several levels of composing activities: Beginner, Elementary, Early Intermediate, and Late Intermediate/Advancing – something to suit everyone! This composition kit gives you the extension activity which follows on after the music appreciation session. The Composition Activities are supplied in pdf format, ready to print & teach.

Take a look through:

So, what is a ‘Piano Party’? The Piano Party idea is really just a sneaky ‘cover’ for a music group class. For studio teachers who mainly teach individual lessons, this is a cool way to get your students together, to cover more music appreciation, history & theory. It’s a great way to broaden their musical education…and help them make friends with other students who learn music too. And actually, it’s not just for piano – this idea is great for any music teaching group! (Try running it as a ‘Violin Party’, a ‘Choir Party’, a ‘Music Party’, or even a ‘Junior Orchestra Party… Just create a title to suit your situation!)

And why run a ‘Party-style’ group class? Well, firstly, students love the idea of a music ‘party’ so much more than the idea of a music class! Secondly, a group class is a great way to offer an additional lesson in the term, which students can use as a replacement for a lesson they have missed. (A time saver for teachers, compared to trying to give everyone individual catch-up lessons.) And thirdly, it’s also a really useful way to broaden your students music appreciation, and touch on music topics that you might not otherwise have time for in their instrumental/singing lessons. Kids love a piano party!
