Give students guided notes (i.e., partially-completed notes that students complete) to help them stay engaged and learn from lectures or readings. It may be especially helpful to include vocabulary lists.
Have students implement simple filters on sound objects so they can parse strings of notes into recognizable melodies to get practice manipulating strings.
Demo Scratch projects can motivate and inspire students; there are interactive examples on the Scratch website, or you can create some yourself based on the topics you plan to teach!
