MUSIC “Class” from home - March 30-April 3rd -
Hi guys! First off...I MISS YOU! I hope you are doing well since I’ve seen you last & remember...your PRIMARY goal is to STAY WELL! In the meantime, here’s some thoughts to keep your brain in “music gear” & to even share with your family until I see you next time!
Please choose 1-2 activities on the board each day this week
...your GOAL should be to “hit 7” by Friday!
Performance Pull up “Rockin’ Robin” & share the two different versions we looked up in class. First, check out Michael Jackson & the Jackson 5... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-OteAgvINc Then Bobby Day’s “Rock In Robin”... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4OFESufsZG0&t=29s Challenge: TEACH someone in your family the MOVES we were going to add to our song for our concert! 😁 | CREATE INSTRUMENTS ...using glasses or jars with different amounts of water in each. Use a pencil or spoon for a mallet & see if you can play a song from the sounds in your glasses! (“Row, Row, Row Your Boat” or something like that, for example) To see a demonstration of how to fill your glasses..check this out! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iFwtybB3R6Q&list=RDCMUCMR59ncWTtlFFTua4H_IB6w&start_radio=1&t=121 | 🎧 Music Listening 🎧 This is Beethoven’s “Fur Elise” performed on wine glasses! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=47TGXJoVhQ8 (Beethoven was a German composer & pianist who lived in the classical period. Check out some of his songs on YouTube & I’ll bet you recognize some of them!) |
Clap these rhythms for a friend or family member: Extra Credit: Give that person a “quiz” to see if they can identify which rhythm you clapped for them! (Be sure to pick a random order for your quiz!) | Sing the scale with solfege hand signs. Once legato, once staccato.
Challenge: TEACH someone in your family one of the parts & try to do BOTH at the same time! | Music Reading Look at the music for... Try to find 5 of these symbols... …then check out a link of John Denver singing the song! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1vrEljMfXYo Extra Credit: Ask a parent what they knew about John Denver. |
Movie Time! While you are watching a movie, close your eyes when there is a scene with music in the background and just LISTEN to music. As you are listening, what do you think is happening? Watch this to see how different movies are without music. | 😆That’s just CRAZY!!!😆 Draw a line that moves all around a page. Using your voice, sing what that line would sound like. Extra Credit: Draw 5 REALLY different line creations & have someone else in your family try! | Rhythm Challenge Go to the Rhythm Trainer.com http://www.therhythmtrainer.com/ ...and see how well you do! I would recommend starting with ta, tee-tee & tick-a-tick-a and then branch out to your newer rhythms! 😁 |
