Lah-Lah's Adventures: Music for Everyone

Access the resource: https://education.actf.com.au/lah-lahs-adventures/index.html 

This resource was developed through a partnership between the Australian Children’s Television Foundation (ACTF) and Tina Harris and Mark Harris – two of the lead creatives behind the popular children’s series, Lah-Lah’s Adventures. Music for Everyone explores the elements of music as outlined in the Australian Curriculum in a fun and accessible way. The simple lesson plans, music clips and additional videos provided in the resource will support generalist teachers in getting started with F-2 music education. 

Lah-Lah’s Adventures: Music for Everyone provides an introduction to the building blocks of music: rhythm, pitch, expression, form, timbre, and texture. Created for busy classroom teachers who are new to music education, the units in the resource can be undertaken with little prior knowledge or preparation, and won’t require access to a room full of musical instruments.

“It’s really interesting that a lot of generalist teachers are actually using music every day already – in the classroom, in assembly, in the playground – and maybe they don’t actually realise that they’re using it. I think the wonderful thing about this particular program is it’s just building on skills that teachers already have.” – Tina Harris.
