I bet you would really enjoy messing around with Blob Opera.
The Creatability suite is pretty neat. Play the marimba with your nose (and so much more!).
Please enjoy this absolutely cursed Teletubbies mashup of Stravinsky's Rite of Spring.
This is a neat birdsong identification game that has you match calls to the a spectragraph picture of the song. It could help train your brain to discern high and low in a more thoughtful way.
Please enjoy a special Star Wars 8-bit playalong. True fact: Mrs. McCarrey has never seen a Star War <ducks>.
This app for iPhones and Android Phones works with your instrument, not just your voice. You are welcome!
This is silly and fun. Make yourself a backing track for scales on Incredibox (yes, I know the men are shirtless, you'll be ok!), Super Looper or Groove Pizza.
Ever wanted to compose, but not have to worry about notes and rhythms? Mario Paint Music Composer lets you do that with strange sound effects. Email me (mccarrey_alison@asdk12.org) your best one! If you like it but wish it were more sophisticated, you might like the Melody Maker or Song Maker in Chrome Music Lab.
This (funny!) video is a joke. Do not watch for genuine help. You have been warned.
Yo-Yo Ma (cellist) Sandra Boynton (children's book author/cartoonist) collaborated for April Fool's Day on "Mooing Home."
This is a version of "Coming Home," a theme from a Dvořák symphony. Ma posted it as part of his Songs of Comfort Series- here's the original (sadly lacking in cows, but with more harmony)!
This is a good tutorial. If you do one, send it to me!
The woman who runs Alto Clef Gifts has made her Alto Clef Coloring Book , Open String Coloring Pages and Three Clefs Coloring Pages available for free during the COVID-19 closures. Thank you, Alto Clef Gifts! Here are some others from The String House.
If you color one and are proud, take a picture of it or scan it and send it to me!
There is no great musical point to this project; only do this if you have two recorders at home, your parents say it's okay and acknowledge they are fully ready to be annoyed. If you do it, remember that bagpipes are an OUTSIDE instrument, and you are obligated to send me a video of you playing the finished project!
