Weather the Weather!

Weather the Weather! – Elementary Weather Musical Book & CD Kit

Bring music and science together with Weather the Weather!, a creative collection of nine weather songs by Andy Beck and Brian Fisher. Designed for elementary-age singers, this cross-curricular program lets students explore weather and meteorology while singing in a variety of engaging musical styles.

Use the songs individually in music class, coordinate them with your school's science curriculum, or combine the entire collection into an approximately 20-minute weather-themed musical presentation. Brief rhyming verses can be used between songs to connect the program from beginning to end.

Music Meets Meteorology

Weather the Weather! gives music teachers a fun way to reinforce concepts students may already be learning in science class. Students sing about changing weather conditions while developing their own musical skills through accessible unison and two-part singing.

Teachers can even collaborate with their school's science department and incorporate suggested weather experiments into the learning experience, making this much more than an ordinary collection of children's songs.

Nine Nifty Weather Songs

The collection features nine energetic weather-themed songs presented in a variety of musical styles. The changing styles help keep young singers interested while giving students experience performing different types of music.

The songs can be taught individually throughout the school year or combined with the included rhyming verse to create a complete theatrical presentation.

Create a 20-Minute Elementary Weather Program

Need an elementary school program that's educational, entertaining, and manageable to produce? Weather the Weather! can be transformed into an approximately 20-minute theatrical presentation.

Brief rhyming verses connect the songs, while included staging suggestions help teachers bring the program to life without requiring an elaborate full-scale musical production.

This makes Weather the Weather! an excellent choice for:

• Elementary school music programs
• Grades 3 and up
• General music classrooms
• Elementary choirs
• Music and science cross-curricular units
• STEM and STEAM activities
• School assemblies
• Spring concerts and school performances
• Weather and meteorology units

Use It as a Songbook or Complete Program

One of the best features of Weather the Weather! is its flexibility. Music teachers don't have to stage the complete program to get plenty of use from the collection.

Choose individual songs to coordinate with daily weather conditions or classroom science topics, incorporate selected pieces into a concert, or present all nine songs as a complete weather-themed production.

Reproducible Student Pages

The Teacher's Handbook includes reproducible student pages, making it easier to prepare music for your singers without requiring a separate book for every student.

Staging suggestions are also included to help teachers turn the material into an entertaining school presentation.
