Somewhere Over the Rainbow

Someday, I wish upon a star

Wake up where the clouds are far behind me.

Where trouble melts like lemon drops

High above the chimney top

That's where you'll find me!

Hi Everyone and Welcome Back!

This week the Exploratory classes are collaborating, or working together, on a project to bring a little happiness to our elders lives. Our grandparents, older family members, and those that care for us are the reason we are here and that our world is so beautiful. This week we want o help those who can't leave their home for at all by bringing them a little bit of hope in this symbol:

The Rainbow

The rainbow is a symbol of hope and hope is the idea that life in the future WILL BE BETTER. Maybe not the same, or the best. But it will be better. So this week as you are doing your project for ONE of your exploratory classes (yes that's right 1 class project finished equals credit for all classes!) I want you to really consider acting from your heart and engaging our elders in envisioning a time when we can once again enjoy time together.

The Project

For band we will be learning and performing Somewhere Over the Rainbow. Listen to the couple of examples below to see just how beautiful this song is. When you submit your recording it will be added to a single recording to be shared with our elders. Mr Cooper and I will be using recording software to bring all our your playing together into one performance. We will JUST BE USING AUDIO!

The Deal

I need you to follow these directions VERY closely. Doing so will allow your part to be in the song.

Project Directions

Step 1: Practice

1) Find your part and practice it through the week. Don't just record your project on Monday. Reach out on FliPGrid with questions. It is NOT PUBLIC this week so only Mr. Cooper and I will see it.

2) Practice the song with the YouTube video recording. This has the music scrolling on your screen and a backing track.

Step 2: Recording

1) Watch the Video below on how to record audio on your Chromebook

2) Use Headphones while playing if your have some to use.

3) While the YouTube recording is playing through your headphone Record the audio of you playing on online-audio-recorder.com

4) Send this to Mr. Lambert: Email or Drive Link (Make sure I can edit it!)
