Between Lessons: Props

In this Between Lessons episode of Keys to Music Learning, Krista and Hannah dive into one of their favorite topics: props! From rhythm sticks and bean bags to pom poms and stretchy bands, they explore how simple materials can transform early childhood classes and beginning piano lessons.

You’ll hear practical, creative ways to use props to strengthen macrobeat and microbeat awareness, support body coordination, prepare keyboard technique, and keep the musical mind fully engaged—all without breaking context. Whether you teach toddlers, keyboard classes, or even high school students, this episode will spark fresh ideas and challenge you to get more mileage out of the props you already own.
