“Studio time ELA with Mr. B” is the most fun and unpredictable way to combine music and ELA into a learning experience your kids will not forget!

Each 50 minute assembly is packed full of music, movement, and technology - all used to teach ELA concepts in a way that really sticks! Students will learn about and use music technology to help compose their own original ELA-themed song. Every student will participate in the song creation, the song rehearsal, the song performance, and the dance performance. All students will receive an audio recording and an accompanying lyric video of their performance upon completion that can be listened to or watched for test review, during brain breaks, at home, etc. All teachers will leave with follow-up lesson plans and a framework for song creation and recording in their own classes. 

"Studio Time ELA with Mr. B" is available for smaller workshops with individual classes, gifted classes, and even EC classes. These lessons are universally designed and easily scaled for teachers to use in the future.

standards based program

(that's fun, too!)

K-2 students will create, perform, and record an original song that teaches proper sentence structure, capitalization, punctuation, and different parts of speech while simultaneously teaching music concepts such as proper singing technique, steady beat, melodic patterns, and connecting movement to melody. Students will reference different texts throughout the recording process, as well as work with physically engaging and funny practice examples as they sing, dance, and learn together.

3-5 students will create, perform, and record an original song that helps students identify which questions in ELA have surface level answers (spelling, referring back to the text, different parts of speech) and which questions require deeper thought to get to their answer (using context clues, visualizing what’s occurring in the text, finding the theme of a story.) Students will be shown tips on how to answer each of these questions, as well as participate in physically engaging and funny examples with the group. All of this is taught alongside music concepts such as proper singing technique, steady beat, melodic patterns, and connecting movement to melody.
