Music And Movement Instructional DVD For Montessori Teachers in a child's hands
An instructional DVD by Sanford and Judy Jones showing teachers how to structure movement exercises, music appreciation, singing lessons, the Montessori bell lessons and sensorial work through notation. Music is the area guides most often feel unqualified in, and watching someone actually run a bell lesson answers questions a written description cannot. Aimed at the adult as professional development rather than at children. A DVD, not a classroom material.
Teacher Professional Development

Curriculum Integration
Provides clear guidance on incorporating musical experiences that support auditory discrimination and rhythmic development.
Movement Education
Demonstrates activities that develop gross motor skills, spatial awareness, and self-expression through purposeful movement.
Classroom Management
Shows effective techniques for organizing group music activities while maintaining the peaceful prepared environment.
How to present it
Review DVD sections relevant to your current classroom needs. Prepare necessary materials shown in demonstrations (bells, rhythm instruments, movement space). Practice presentations alone before introducing to children.
- 1Watch bell presentation segment, noting precise hand movements and timing
- 2Study rhythm exercise demonstrations, observing how complexity gradually increases
- 3Review movement game instructions, paying attention to space requirements
- 4Practice verbal cues and musical timing as shown in group activity segments
3 tips for parents
- Ask teachers which music activities from their training your child particularly enjoys
- Request simple rhythm games teachers have learned that can be adapted for home
- Understand that teacher training ensures activities match your child's developmental readiness
