ECMMA Conference: Looking for New Ideas? New Curriculum?

Find lots of fun and interaction with other Early Childhood Educators!

The North Central Region ECMMA conference is July 10 and 11th on the campus of Iowa State University in Ames, IA. I’m thrilled that I will be a part of the conference and will be leading a Saturday evening session on Drumming in Early Childhood. Hope to see you there!

Hi Jenny,

We have several options for grades 5-8. Gameplan grade 5 is the latest installment in the extremely popular series by Randy DeLelles and Jeff Kriske. Not only is there a full year curriculum guide, but you can also add in the Grade 5 Charts and Visuals and the Gameboard components. The World Music Drumming Curriculum by Will Schmid was especially created and piloted for middle grades and continues to be one of our best sellers. In addition to the Classroom kit, there are two additional books of ensembles, as well as the World Music Drumming choral series. The Just Play It! Harmonica method is a fantastic 6-12 week option. The Teachers Guide and Student Guide each include a CD and Hohner harmonica and kids love the unit. These might be some great starting points for you. Additionally, feel free to contact me directly and we can look at your year together to see what will work well for you: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
