Do you like hand clapping games? Give this one a try!
Two bird friends will demonstrate. They start out slow and echo each other to give you some practice. Feel free to restart the video and practice slowly a few times. Then, once you get the hang of it continue on through the video. The song will speed up each time the it's repeated. Enjoy and happy clapping!
Musication - At Home Edition
Chrome Music Lab
This is an AMAZING program!
You get to experiment with Rhythms, Melodies, Sounds, and more. I've had so much fun experimenting in their lab!
Directions:
First, select "Spectrogram", it looks like rainbow waves. Click on the bird and other instruments to see what the different sounds look like. Then, click on the microphone symbol to see what your own voice looks like as you make sounds. It's fun to watch the colors appear and move high and low as they follow the sounds you make with your voice.
Next, select the monkey for "Rhythms". The top line is for triangle, the middle line is for yellow drum, and the bottom line is for orange drum. You can put sounds wherever you'd like by clicking on the dot chart. The monkeys will play the rhythm patterns you've created! If you don't like how it sounds, change them around. YOU are the composer!
Feel free to explore the other areas of Chrome Music Lab when you have time. There is even a section where you can draw and Chrome Music Lab turns your drawings into music!
