*27 lessons that include everything you need to teach
S-Cubed Level ONE. This includes video
examples of me teaching the program, video teaching tips for each lesson, and
step by step daily guide.

to hand the examples to your students. It’s
good for people who don’t have a Promethean Board. It is easy to copy.

How long will it
take to teach the Complete Bundle?
*Everyone’s teaching situation is different. I see my students daily for 50 minutes. It takes me 27 weeks to teach it. I teach S-Cubed about 4 times weekly on average. We take about 10-15 minutes per day.
How long will it
take to teach Level TWO?
*It will take about 18 weeks if you see them daily and
follow the procedure listed above.
Can I get a
synopsis of what is in each lesson?
*I have spent many hours creating the Product Descriptions
on Teachers Pay Teachers. This will be
the best place for you to get a general idea of what is coming in each
lesson. Start
here. Inside the description, you
will find more hyperlinks that will take you on a Lesson tour starting with
Lesson 1 and progressing through the entire program.
I have also included these three links that are intended to
inform you a bit more on how to use this program:
What is Music
Prodigy and do I have to use it with S-Cubed?
Music Prodigy is a computer/app based program that allows
students to practice and teachers to assess their students. I tried the program for one year with my 340
middle school students, and I liked it so much that I decided to supplement
S-Cubed by creating homework examples specifically for Music Prodigy. When you purchase the “Add on”, you and your
students gain access to the homework examples.
In S-Cubed, your students begin actually sight singing during Lesson
4. There is one homework example for
each example that is included in S-Cubed.
I wrote them to complement what we worked on that day in class. I intend for teachers to assign the
complementary homework example on the day the material was covered in
class. It will take most children no
more than 5 or 10 minutes to complete.
I used S-Cubed for many years without Music Prodigy, and my
students were successful. However, Music
Prodigy has simplified individual assessment for me significantly.

Thank you so much for your purchase! Best of luck as you work through the program!
