Teaching With Musicplay

Scheduled Maintenance: Login system improvements
We will be performing maintenance start 7PM MST to 11:59PM MST on Thursday May 30th.
if you do not regularly use workshops.musicplay.ca, this will likely have no impact on you.
If you are impacted, here's what you can expect:
New login system for MusicplayOnline launching February 1st
UPDATE: As we continue to work on this, we need some extra time to perfect this, and as such we will be launching on Thursday, February 1st instead. Thank you all for your understanding.
Musicplay will be moving to a unified login solution that will enable a simplified billing process and a better user experience. In the future, this will allow us to have you login once and be logged in to all Musicplay properties including Musicplay Store, Musicplay Workshops, and more!
How will this affect you:

Managing Tough Classes
This was posted in our Facebook group this week, and there were many teachers who are in similar situations and posted suggestions. So - thank you to all who posted in the Musicplay Teacher’s group on Facebook - you’re the authors of the Musicplay newsletter this week.
Centers in the Music Class
Why use centers in the music room? Learning centers are typically set up in a classroom to encourage children to make choices. As they work in the centers they learn to work independently as well as cooperatively. Behaviors are getting more difficult to manage every year. If you use centers and have one or two students not behaving appropriately, this is a time when you can intervene and have them work one on one with you, or you can give them a written task instead of letting them play the games at the centers. I found with the grade 5 classes I worked with that the level of engagement was really high, and students were almost all on task.
