Mr. Butler's Latest Video Music Lessons

These video music lessons were created for our first weeks of Return to Learn and should be fun for any grade, K-5! In the first three, Mr. Butler shares some favorite books with music related content and asks students to help bring them to life with song and dance. In the fourth, Mr. Butler shares a favorite song in English and Spanish! 

Video Music Lessons #5 through #8 were created for 4th and 5th graders and show how to create music with digital music applications in The Chrome Music Lab!

Lessons #9, #10, & #11 were made for any ages, grades K - 5. We hope you will watch and enjoy them if you are staying remote and that you'll watch again if you got to experience these at school.
