- Our KidTime StoryTime song this week features the song “Singing in the Rain.” We danced to a version of this song with The Learning Station! Remember that? This is the full version of the song, which is very old! This song also became part of a Musical called Singing in the Rain. Maybe you know the musical- it’s one of my favorites!- or the song. Listen and sing along! When you’re done listening to the book, watch the video of wonderful dancer Gene Kelly singing and dancing along from the movie musical. Maybe it will make you want to sing and dance outside the next time it rains!:
- Chrome Music Lab: You can do all sorts of creating on Chrome Music Lab! For this week, use Kadinsky on Chrome Music Lab and write some tunes! To do this, you will draw different shapes (circles, squares, triangles, etc.) or kinds of lines (squiggles, zig-zags, straight lines, etc.) on different parts of the page, and that will create different sounds with different instruments and different pitches. You can do as many shapes and lines as you want (up to 22)! Here’s a picture of one that I made just to show you how it looks. Change the circle with the two colors at the bottom to change the instruments used!
Let’s take a dance break with MooseTube from GoNoodle!: We’ve done some of these dances before. Maybe you have some favorites! Pick a few from this playlist!:

Let’s do some note-reading practice! This year we learned how to read notes on the Musical Staff! We used some silly sentences to remember the letters of our lines notes, and a word to remember our space notes. See how many you remember when you take this practice challenge! There are helpers on the side of the staff to help you! Click on the letter name that goes with each note shown. You can take the challenge as many times as you want and it’s ok if you get an answer wrong- you have multiple attempts! See how high of a score you can get!:

Let’s continue practicing our singing language, solfege! Here’s the review and video from last week, as well as a song to practice with!:
So far, we have learned Sol and Mi, how to sing them, and what hand signs we make with those singing syllables. Remember that Sol is High, and Mi is Low. Here are the hand signs in case you forgot!:
Practice singing them on your own a few times and make some patterns; maybe teach someone at home! Then, try this challenge! You may need to try it a few times! Good luck! (They use So instead of Sol. Sing it the way we know!):
NEW!!! Here is a sol-mi song to practice with called “Lemonade.” Listen to the song first, then play it again and see if you can follow along with the song with hand-signs and sol/mi (the green notes are sol, and the yellow notes are mi).

Here is a fun activity to do with Chrome Music Lab. Click on the link below to find the template for the “Star Wars Main Theme” composed by John Williams. John Williams is a fantastic composer of soundtracks for movies! He’s done the music for Star Wars, Jurassic Park, Indiana Jones, Harry Potter, E.T, and many more! Let’s use the main melody from his theme for Star Wars and add our own rhythms to it!:
Once you get to this page, play the music to see what it sounds like. Using the small gray dots on the bottom, click and create your own rhythms to go with the music. If you don’t like how it sounds, change them around! (Don’t click in the squares with the colors, that will change the melody and we want to keep that the same!):
You can also use the two big round blue buttons with instruments on the bottom left-hand side of the page to change the sounds of the melody as well as the rhythms. See what you can create!
If you want to send it to me, click “save” on the right-hand side of the page and send the link to my email- gina.carrozza@whschools.org.
Here’s John Williams’ original version to give you an idea if you haven’t heard it before! (Though I’m sure you have!):
Tuesday, May 5th is Cinco De Mayo, a day we celebrate in Mexican History! A big part of Mexican Music is a type of music called “Mariachi.” You may have heard some of this kind of music before. Watch this video that explains a little bit about the history and instruments of Mariachi Music!

Grab a plastic cup (Any kind! Solo cups work best!) and see if you can learn this neat rhythmic pattern with the cup! Because yes! We can make beats and rhythms ONLY USING A CUP! COOL! You can watch the video the first time, then pause to see the instruction pictures so you can learn it yourself.
Pause at the beginning for the first pattern, and about 4 seconds in for the second pattern. Then put them together!
START SLOW and once you’ve got it, see if you can speed it up! Maybe even go fast enough to do it with the video.

Let’s continue practicing with our new rhythm, the half note! Remember these things about the half note:
The half note gets two beats and to count this out, we use the rhythm syllable “ta-a” (1-2).
It looks like our quarter note or “ta” but it is not colored-in in the middle!
When you clap this rhythm out we clap and HOLD our hands together for two beats while we say “ta-a.” I like to clap and hold my hands together while moving my hands from one side of my body to the other, like a rainbow.
Here are some more rhythm practice videos for this week! Watch all 3 on this playlist and clap along with the rhythms (don’t forget about the rests! They’re silent!)- you may need to do them more than once to get it down! Half notes come in the 3rd video. Good luck!:
