QUICK! I need ideas for my Choir Lesson- Topic- Navigating Various Repeat Signs


Learning to navigate the various repeat signs that students will encounter in music is right up there with navigating the choral octavo and is truly a part of teaching the navigation of the choral octavo.   We already covered that general topic earlier in the "QUICK!" series.  Find it here in my TpT Store.  It is critical to cover this topic so that your students continue to become more confident with getting around a choral octavo successfully.  Otherwise, they stop looking at the music and just look at you or they look around the room.  

So, take a Friday to teach this lesson, or break up your week by inserting this lesson into your plans mid-week.  You'll be glad you took the time to cover this topic because it will save you so much time later as you are trying to teach music for an upcoming concert!

Here is what you'll find in this lesson-

*You will find a link to a 19-page set of ideas for this product.

*The first part of this product is a product focused on the easiest form of repeat signs for students to follow- repeat signs with first and second endings.  As the lesson progresses, we cover DS Al Coda and DC Al Coda.  I make specific song recommendations that you can use or you can follow the lesson plan using songs in your library that cover the topics at hand.

*To extend the value of this lesson, I’ve included some ideas to gamify the learning process to make it fun as you reinforce these ideas.

*I include ideas for resources, many of which are free, with links to those resources.  For example, I mention playing Bingo to reinforce the lesson, and I include a link to a site on which you can create the Bingo cards.

*This lesson can last many days if you wish to make it do so and you can implement the ideas over time so that ultimately, your students get a strong grasp on how to handle various repeat signs in their choral music.

*I include a quiz and an answer key.

What topics are covered?

*Repeat Signs, First and Second Endings, DS Al Coda, DC Al Coda

*We include game ideas you can use to reinforce the lesson

*We share links to resources to reinforce the lesson as well as performance links to songs that include DS Al Coda and other repeats.
