Music reading with Are You Sleeping: Free SMART board file!!!


My student growth goal this year is for my 4th graders to improve in basic sight singing skills. Here is a free SMART Notebook file with several activities for students to do with the notation of the song Are You Sleeping/Frere Jacques.

Here are some of the activities students do with the notation of Are You Sleeping:





  • match each line of notation to the correct word





  • look at the notation and figure out what song it is, sharing musical clues from the notation that helped them figure it out





  • read and sing an ascending major scale in F major and D major





  • circle the mistakes in each line


  • Sample pictures of some of the slides:
