Primary All Levels of Expertise

The Interactive Music Room - Book 1 (beginning primary)

This product is the first of a 7 level classroom interactive music program that will cover the primary years. The second level will be available early next year. Inspired by the popular Music Room series, this new interactive software has been adapted and designed by South Australian teacher and accredited Easiteach® presenter Cheryl Burgemeister. The Interactive Music Room contains 30 Easiteach® lessons (up to 5 activities each), audio ans video files embedded in the lessons, Easiteach® Player software (with software licence), a music player with pause and search functions, visual images, animations, large lyrics, BLMs for assessment, worked solutions and examples, teacher notes, a teacher manual and an instructional DVD.

Students can touch the screen to animate characters, touch and reveal, drag and drop, start and stop music, play virtual sounds and music, write and draw on-screen with finger or pen.

This is the first interactive developmental music program in the world. It is physically and mentally interactive, engaging aural and visual areas of the brain (brain-based learning). If you haven’t seen this program in action, come and touch the screen at Kevin’s demonstration.

Bushfire Press will also have a display in the Trade Exhibition where the product will be available for purchase. In the meantime, go to their website, bushfirepress.com for a sneak preview. There you can see a video demonstration with creator, Cheryl Burgemeister, and her students. You can download a free activity to play around with either on an IWB or on your computer.
