Odyssey School of Music

Using eye gaze and head movements to make a tune or two?

Sounds extraordinary? You bet it is!

Designed by Zacharias Vamvakousis, the aim of EyeHarp is to enable people with physical disabilities to learn, play and express themselves via music.

As a music educator, I feel it is important to show our young ones that there is more to music than just practicing their instruments. It is vital that we also teach them to be grateful and enlighten them to different perspectives of learning music and what music really means to others.

What do you think of EyeHarp? Would love to hear your opinions!

Teaching younger children online is not as easy.
As they have a shorter attention span, it is important that we switch between each activity quicker.
Each activity should only be around 3 - 5 minutes long.

Here are some tried and tested ideas that I have used in my practice and hope it will be useful to you as well!

It is alright if your lesson didn’t turn out the way you have planned.
Remember that you have done your best in every way and the kids adore you!!!

TIME OUT!!!!!

There are signs that a kid will exhibit when they need that short rest/music naps during lessons.

Here are some warning signs that you can look for :-

🎵Feeling frustrated/annoyed
🎵Can’t sit still/ restless
🎵Making mistakes in practice
🎵Difficulty focusing
🎵Some may start crying…...

Kids have short attention spans and as teachers we need to keep a lookout for these and spontaneously change our lesson plan / activities accordingly.

Share this with someone who needs it and save it for future use!
