This week we are talking about the saxophone in the woodwind family of instruments and Ragtime music. Watch the first two videos below about the woodwind family and the saxophone.
This is an example of Ragtime music by Scott Joplin. The bouncy rhythm was called “Ragged time” at first because it sounded as ragged as a torn piece of cloth. Then it got shortened to ragtime.
This song is called "The Entertainer."
This is another example of Ragtime music played on the saxophone.
It's called "The Maple Leaf Rag."
Feel free to play your homemade drums or anything you have around your homes in "The Fig Leaf Rag." These girls are using a drum, triangle, and wood block. Maybe you can find something similar!
