Over 650,000 presentations currently available! http://www.prometheanplanet.com/  Some of my favorite lessons that I have found by performing a google search are:  <span style="display: block; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;"><span style="display: block; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; padding: 0px;">1.The note tree: the students click and drag quarter, half, whole, and eighth notes off the tree and place them in the proper quarter note, half note, whole note, or eighth note circle. <span style="display: block; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;"><span style="display: block; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; padding: 0px;">2. Using the lines in the notebook software and creating a 2-line staff or a 3-line staff that the students can click and drag noteheads to the lines or spaces of the staff. <span style="display: block; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;"><span style="display: block; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; padding: 0px;">3. The note game: There are various notes projected on the SMART Board. The students must use the SMART Board pen to circle all of the quarter notes. When finished, they pull out the answer tab from the side of the screen, which will reveal where all of the quarter notes are. The students then can self-assess their answers. <span style="display: block; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;"> <span style="display: block; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;"><span style="display: block; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">These are just some ideas on how to utilize a SMART Board in your classroom. The board and software itself take a little time to get used to. However, your students will love using the board and you will love having a large, interactive, visual teaching tool in your classroom.

<span style="display: block; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;"> <span style="background-attachment: initial; background-color: initial; background-repeat: no-repeat; display: block; line-height: 24px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> I’ve been asked several times recently on Twitter to recommend ideas for Music lessons that involve the interactive whiteboard. So here are 10 free resources, and one excellent paid-for resource, that will help you make music on your interactive whiteboard. More can be found on this __ delicious list __. __ MoodStream __ Moodstream is a really interesting tool. It combines images (from Getty Images) and audio tracks to suit your mood. Would be good to investigate how different sounds and tunes affect our how we feel. Choose from combinations of happy/sad, calm/lively, warm/cool etc. Is really interesting to leave running for a while and see what it does. __ Shaun the Sheep’s Bleat Box __ Make music with Shaun the Sheep of Wallace and Gromit fame. Click on a sheep to make them bleat! Great fun. Includes a free play mode or a memory game. __ Making Music from Help Kidz Learn __ Simply press a piano key or run your finger down the keys on a touch screen, to play the notes. Mouse users can click on the keys. The keys are in different bright colours and marked with the note they play. __ Virtual Drum Kit __ Ken Brashear has made a giant drum kit that you play simply by hitting the different hotspots on the image. Very therapeutic. __ Music Match Game __ This game helps you learn how to play the piano and read music. You can learn the notes, learn the keys or both. __ Drum Machine __ An interactive drum machine that lets you build up different beats to create your own drum track which you can then export as a swf file. __ Poisson Rouge Piano __ A simple interactive piano that lets you produce a tune and then play it back. Will show the musical notation at the same time. __ Muxicall __ A collaborative “wall of music” Click on the notes to play a track, but other people can also be using it at the same time and play music between you! __ Toy Theatre Music __ 4 different games here. Compose your own music, create drum beats, music maker and piano puppet. Try them out! __ Musical Monsters __ A paid-for resource that is wonderful for KS1 is Musical Monsters from Q& Multimedia. Create rhythms and melodies by putting the singing creatures onto the music board, then listen to – and watch – the results. And finally… __ Reindeer Orchestra __

Probably best left until close to Christmas, but click on the reindeer’s noses to make them sing. Choose from several christmas carols, or free play mode. More links can be found on my delicious list at: __ @http://delicious.com/dannynic/music+iwb __

= How to Use a SMART Board to Teach Music = <span class="Note byline trigger" style="color: #bd3308; font-family: inherit; font-size: 11px; vertical-align: baseline;">By Mallory Hall <span class="about" style="color: #bd3308; font-family: inherit; font-size: 11px; vertical-align: baseline;">, eHow Contributor <span style="color: #a9a9a9; display: block; font-family: inherit; font-size: 11px; vertical-align: baseline;"> updated January 13, 2011 Use SMART Board technology to ensure your music lessons are exciting and engaging.

The SMART Board is a technological advance in classrooms. It is an interactive whiteboard that allows teachers to prepare materials in a more modern way while promoting student involvement with the lessons. If you are a teacher who is interested in learning how to use the SMART Board in your own classroom, follow the examples of other teachers who are currently using it. While this new technology may seem intimidating and confusing at first, once you have learned how to use the SMART Board properly, the opportunities are endless. Difficulty: Moderate

 * <span class="stepNumber" style="color: #ffa800; font-family: serif; font-size: 30px; vertical-align: baseline;">3 Visit another school and sit in on a music class that uses a SMART Board. Take notes and ask the teacher questions after the class is over. Observe what works in the classroom and what doesn't. Ask the teacher for sample lesson plans.
 * <span class="stepNumber" style="color: #ffa800; font-family: serif; font-size: 30px; vertical-align: baseline;">4 Use your SMART Board to take attendance. Music classes, particularly choirs and bands, tend to have a large number of students. Have your students sign in electronically.
 * <span class="stepNumber" style="color: #ffa800; font-family: serif; font-size: 30px; vertical-align: baseline;">5 Create warm-ups for each day. The SMART Board allows you to make a different warm-up depending on the pieces you are studying. Ensure your students are looking at the screen to lessen any distractions. They can view the notes as they are warming up.
 * <span class="stepNumber" style="color: #ffa800; font-family: serif; font-size: 30px; vertical-align: baseline;">6 Use your SMART Board to teach music notation. Draw a musical staff and lock it into place. Import graphics and notes according to the piece you are composing. Have your students create their own pieces.
 * <span class="stepNumber" style="color: #ffa800; font-family: serif; font-size: 30px; vertical-align: baseline;">7 Program your SMART Board to play notes. Find sound files of each note and upload them on to the SMART Board. Place the notes on the staff in order to create a song. Assign each note a sound and apply the appropriate sound file.
 * <span class="stepNumber" style="color: #ffa800; font-family: serif; font-size: 30px; vertical-align: baseline;">8 Test your students. Set up three or four possible answers for each question. Have each student identify a note that you request. Program the SMART board so that wrong answers play a buzzer sound and the correct answer plays a dinging sound.
 * <span class="stepNumber" style="color: #ffa800; font-family: serif; font-size: 30px; vertical-align: baseline;">9 Download SMART Board programs. Obtain Sibelius or Finale Notepad, two types of software for music notation. Use these programs to teach rhythm, composition, and solfege. They also help students recognize different melodic patterns in varying keys.
 * <span class="stepNumber" style="color: #ffa800; font-family: serif; font-size: 30px; vertical-align: baseline;">10 Use the SMART Board for studies. Teach your students about musical eras, biographical histories of composers and special holiday music <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #006400; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">celebrations  . The SMART Board will replace CDs, cassettes and posters because this information is available interactively on your SMART Board presentation.

 * SMART Notebook Software:**

SMART Board has software that you can use to create lessons. The notebook software has a lot of bells and whistles to it such as games accessories like dice, spinners, etc. It also has various teaching tools like maps, graphics, pictures, tabs, etc. In addition, if you perform a google search for music SMART Board lessons, you will find lessons created with the notebook software that you can download and utilize right away. Some of my favorite lessons that I have found by performing a google search are:

The note tree: the students click and drag quarter, half, whole, and eighth notes off the tree and place them in the proper quarter note, half note, whole note, or eighth note circle.

Using the lines in the notebook software and creating a 2-line staff or a 3-line staff that the students can click and drag noteheads to the lines or spaces of the staff.

The note game: There are various notes projected on the SMART Board. The students must use the SMART Board pen to circle all of the quarter notes. When finished, they pull out the answer tab from the side of the screen, which will reveal where all of the quarter notes are. The students then can self-assess their answers. These are just some ideas on how to utilize a SMART Board in your classroom. The board and software itself take a little time to get used to. However, your students will love using the board and you will love having a large, interactive, visual teaching tool in your classroom.
