2nd Grade

Today in Music...

We usually start music class with a movement activity!

Dance along with this Koo Koo Kangaroo video or find more videos in Movement.

Carnival of the Animals

Program Music: Story told through a collection of music.

The Carnival of the Animals is a collection of music split into movements (sections). Each movement is about a different animal. Listen for the specific sounds that make each movement unique.

<<< This video goes through all of the different movements. Listen for how many animals there are AND what instruments are being used!

FUN MUSICAL ACTIVITY

CHECK OUT CHROME MUSIC LAB! Play around with this website that we have used in music class before. If you create something exciting and cool, have your parents send it to me on ParentSquare or email!

Some of my favorites are Rhythm (the monkey) or Songmaker!
