Music PowerPoint Presentations

The NoteStackers line of products is EXPANDING! We're excited to introduce the Digital Presentation editions! These Digital Presentation versions allow for more interaction for students and classes both in-person and online!

NoteStackers Primer Presentation Edition focuses solely on the Music Alphabet Letters. For this level, students are given a letter in the middle and then write in a letter that comes before and a letter that comes after the given letter.

Wanna know the best part? You can use this with any age and level of students and classes, not just beginners!

Let's explain...

While the primer edition IS meant for beginners to test their note-reading ability and to see how the Music Alphabet moves, you can test older students and classes with things such as:

• Intervals:

  • "What's a Skip Above A?"
  • "What's A Skip Below A?"
  • "What's a 4th below A, and a 4th above A?"

• Chords:

  • "A is the 3rd of the chord, give the root and 5th"

• Inversions:

  • "C is the Root of the chord, give the 3rd above it, 5th below it, and name the inversion"

The versatility is priceless and the possibilities for this game are endless!

In total, there are 9 slides in this presentation:

• Title Slide
• Intro Slide and Instructions
• "A" Slide
• "B" Slide
• "C" Slide
• "D" Slide
• "E" Slide
• "F" Slide
• "G" Slide

Because this is a presentation software version, you can duplicate slides as needed to create a longer version of the game, and you can use a slide randomizing add-on to vary the letters as well.

Since there are not moveable parts with this level of the game, the Primer Level can be used with any presentation software.

Note, this product is only to be used by the original purchaser and may not be distributed to other teachers/schools. We appreciate getting referrals for our products!

Right in time for your Christmas instrumentalists, we present to you Mariah Carey's smash hit All I Want For Christmas is You - REMIX for BUCKET DRUMMING!

There are eight all-color coded slides along with the form identifiers listed next to each phrase. Discuss form with the students and teach them (by rote) the rhythms on the powerpoint with the corresponding repeats (most are grouped 3x + 1x with a few 2 and 4 measure repeats). Then, apply it to drums!

All regular notation is to be played on the buckets (or drums, or ground, however you wish), and the X notation (with a down stem) are played as stick clicks above their head (or you could apply it to a tambourine or other auxiliary instrument)

The track is INCLUDED with this one, so no need to search it off of YouTube

Have fun with this and let us know how it goes!

Terms of Use:

All images/photos/clip art in this resource were created by me.

The #1 selling "Identify Form in Pop Music!" has multiple follow versions! In addition to the Original Version, you can download Part THREE (2015), Part FOUR (2017), Part FIVE (2018) Part SIX (2019) and Part SEVEN (2021) below:

________________________________________

Redone and remodeled from the beginning to end with more colorful layouts and updated music, the 2014 follow-up to the #1 selling "Identify Form in Pop Music"... here's part TWO!

Kids love their pop music, right? Want to integrate it into your classroom? This is great lesson to do with 4th and 5th graders that lets them listen to their favorite pop music while learning about musical form!

The lesson begins with a video introduction to form and then talks about elements of pop music and how it ascribes to a specific form. We talk about the intro, verse, chorus, bridge, and outro, and include (different from the 2013 version) the collision and the channel and then go onto our activity.

I cut out cards... a whole bunch of intros, verses, chorus, bridges, outros, channels, and collisons (or you can do it with a whiteboard/marker, or even as a unison class response) and give them to each student, then have have the kids sit on the floor. I then play an mp3 of a song which has 10 second clips of each of the sections (there is about a 2 second gap in between each clip and all clips are safe for little ears -- no profanity!) and have the students identify them by spelling them out on the floor in front of them

A great compromise to having your kids listen to their music and still satisfy a 4th and 5th grade standard in identifying the structure of music!

The 2014 hit list:

Best Day of My Life - American Authors

Burn - Ellie Goulding

Neon Lights - Demi Lovato

Let it Go - Idina Menzel (this will SURELY get your class sold!)

Happy - Pharrell Williams

Counting Stars - OneRepublic

Pompeii - Bastille

Light 'em Up - Fall Out Boy

I cut out cards... a whole bunch of intros, verses, chorus, bridges, outros, channels, and collisions (or you can do it with a whiteboard/marker, or even as a unison class response) and give them to each student, then have have the kids sit on the floor. I then play an mp3 of a song which has 10 second clips of each of the sections (there is about a 2 second gap in between each clip and all clips are safe for little ears -- no profanity!) and have the students identify them by spelling them out on the floor in front of them. This works great if you're putting kids into groups of 2 or 3 as they try to figure out the form of the song.

It's a great compromise to having your kids listen to their music and still satisfy a 4th and 5th grade standard in identifying the structure of music!

The 2017 hit list:

Can't Stop the Feeling - Justin Timberlake

Love on the Brain - Rihanna

This Town - Niall Horan

Treat You Better - Shawn Mendes

Don't Let Me Down - The Chainsmokers

We now offer you a new twist on our best selling bucket drumming arrangements, here is the "The Imperial March" from John Williams' Star Wars played as a DUET!

There are five color coded slides with the left portion of the slide being the 1st part of the arrangement and the right portion of the slide being the 2nd part part of the arrangement. Both colors are played simultaneously, (as you would read them horizontally) and then go to the next line of the phrase simultaneously.

Teach them (by rote) the rhythms on the powerpoint with the corresponding repeats (most are repeated 2 times). Then, apply it to drums!

All regular notation is to be played on the buckets (or drums, or ground, however you wish), and the X notation (with a down stem) are played as stick clicks above their head (or you could apply it to a tambourine or other auxiliary instrument)

This is a great arrangement to talk about different timbres, rests and empty space, and have students practice independence from other parts of the ensemble.

Here's the track so you can play along... (recorded by the LSO)

A departure from some of our pop hits is the smash number from the 2019 remake of the classic Walt Disney animated film "Aladdin", here's Prince Ali, sung infamously by Will Smith for BUCKET DRUMMING!

The most difficult (and longest!) bucket drumming repertoire has hit Mr. Litt's Music Room in the infamous William Tell Overture by Gioachino Rossini! Super super difficult, super super engaging, but so rewarding if done well! You could even use this as a concert piece

There are seven all-color coded slides along with the form identifiers listed next to each phrase. Discuss form with the students and teach them (by rote) the rhythms on the powerpoint with the corresponding repeats (most are repeated 2 or 3 times). Then, apply it to drums!

This is a terrific activity to discuss with the kids with the inclusion of classic music, modern drumming, and identifying form. Perhaps use this video as a precursor?

Finale to the William Tell Overture - Full Form

All regular notation is to be played on the buckets (or drums, or ground, however you wish), and the X notation (with a down stem) are played as stick clicks above their head (or you could apply it to a tambourine or other auxiliary instrument)

Have fun with this and let us know how it goes!

A departure from our typical popular music fare, we now offer you "The Imperial March" from John Williams' Star Wars franchise!

There are five color coded slides along with the form and instrumental identifiers listed next to each phrase. Discuss form with the students (a great way to talk about the variations of the theme with inclusion or exclusions of certain instrument groupings) and teach them (by rote) the rhythms on the powerpoint with the corresponding repeats (most are repeated 2 times). Then, apply it to drums!

All regular notation is to be played on the buckets (or drums, or ground, however you wish), and the X notation (with a down stem) are played as stick clicks above their head (or you could apply it to a tambourine or other auxiliary instrument)

This one is great to work on 16th note triplets -- work on those alternating hands! :D

A departure from our typical popular music fare, we now offer you "The Imperial March" from John Williams' Star Wars franchise!

There are five color coded slides along with the form and instrumental identifiers listed next to each phrase. Discuss form with the students (a great way to talk about the variations of the theme with inclusion or exclusions of certain instrument groupings) and teach them (by rote) the rhythms on the powerpoint with the corresponding repeats (most are repeated 2 times). Then, apply it to drums!

All regular notation is to be played on the buckets (or drums, or ground, however you wish), and the X notation (with a down stem) are played as stick clicks above their head (or you could apply it to a tambourine or other auxiliary instrument)

This one is great to work on 16th note triplets -- work on those alternating hands! :D

Here's the track so you can play along... (recorded by the LSO)

By a popular request, ready for your concert series or even for a fun read-a-long in class, this Michael Jackson MegaMix includes three pieces, one from each era of the King of Pop!

Enjoy reading through a custom bucket drumming compilation with an arrangement of music from:

• I Want You Back
• Black or White
• Leave Me Alone

To delight your audiences and your kids! Included with this, is the mp3 background track so you can play right along.

Notation

• All regular notation is to be played on the buckets (or drums, or ground, however you wish), and the X notation (with a down stem) are played as stick clicks above their head (or you could apply it to a tambourine or other auxiliary instrument)
• The X notation that is stacked with quarter notes are played as shots (think like a marching band snare drum -- playing the drum and stick simultaneously as a rimshot or on top of each other -- whatever will you get you the best accent!)

Have fun with this and let us know how it goes!
