Resources for music teachers...

... Or resources and activities for CLIL teachers of English and Music.

Not many teachers do not dare to teach music in English as a second or third language. There are few experiences and not many succesful ones. It is real difficult to merge musical language with any other oral language for comunication. Singing of course, is the best way to practice rhythm, intonation, pronunciation and phonetics, as well as to introduce new vocabulary, grammar or structures.

In Cockroaches and Ladybugs blog you can have an overview on How can you ensure music activities fulfil conditions that are likely to promote language learning through a Power Point: "English Through Music", made by Jane willis and Anice Paterson (Oxford University Press, 2008).

You can also have some really interesting web sites with resources and activities for music teaching (extremely useful for CLIL teaching, too!)
