Follow the rhythms on the screen to play along with a jazzy song! Use an instrument from your instrument kit or just clap along!
Watch the video to get some extra practice with ta and ti-ti. When you are through, go to Seesaw and write me as many different four beat rhythms using ta and ti-ti as you can! (I explain this in the video.)
Click on the video to the left. We will review the song Rain Rain (perfect for today!) and learn about the NOTES that show the RHYTHM!
Today we are going to review some work we did figuring out how many sounds happen on a beat for the song Rain Rain Go Away! This is a review video because it has been awhile since we did it and a refresher will help with the rhythm work we will be doing next week! Then, learn a new song with Teacher Tia called Bow Wow Wow! In the second video, you will need to choose an instrument from your instrument baggie to play the rhythm with this new song!
We have been working on knowing the difference between beat (the way your heart goes) and rhythm (the way the words go). This video helps to explain the difference between them in a different way. When you ahve finished watching the video, go back and review the song Apple Tree. Can you clap the way the words go (rhythm) as you sing? Come back to Seesaw and sing Apple Tree for me, clapping the words as you sing!
In the video, you are asked to keep the beat, but for today I want you to clap the words of the song as you sing! (how many sounds in the word "apple"? 2! So you clap twice!)
Today for music you are going to listen to a story. The story goes along with some very famous music. After you hear the story, you will listen to the music and do some actions that go along with it! We have been talking about loud and soft in music - notice how the music starts quiet but gets louder and louder! Something else also changes with the music. Go back to Seesaw and tell me what it is!
The link on the left is a great music site. Today, your job is to click on the link. Depending on what device you are using to do your work, you will fine a list of games either going down along the right hand side, or going across the screen when you scroll down a bit. Look for the game called "Beat or Rhythm". Click on it! You will see a character playing the drums. Your job is to decide if he is playing the beat (sounds don't go faster or slower, they stay the same!) or the rhythm (sounds go faster and slower). Click on the answer. There are 10 examples for you to listen to. When you are finished, please go back to Seesaw and let me know how many you got correct!
Click on the video to the left for a lesson. (The sound quality is not great but I think it will work. I'm working on it :)) we will work on beats with one sound and beats with two sounds. When you are finished, go back to Seesaw and make your own rhythms with pumpkins and bats to read to me!
Click on the video to the left. You will learn a new song and do steady beat and rhythm with it, then you will do some work with the rhythm of the song Rain Rain, Go Away! When you are finished watching the video, go back to Seesaw and answer some questions about the lesson!
Click on the video. You will hear some fun music. The person on the stage will show you what action you should be doing with the steady beat. You will start with stamping your feet for 16 beats. Be sure to watch because as the song goes on, you keep the beat in different ways!
Sing along with a familiar song. Practice keeping the beat and count the beats that you hear in the song.
We are going to focus on only part of the song. We are going to look at the BEAT and the RHYTHM. At the end of the video, I have a problem that you can maybe help me solve! Go back to seesaw to answer!
If you would like a quick reminder of beat and rhythm, watch this video again. You don't need to go through the activity sheet this time - you will go back to Seesaw and do your own beat and rhythm activity sheet there!
We are unable to send a hand drum home. You know what works pretty well though? A shallow round tupperware (or similar) container, or even an icecream bucket. They won't sound exactly the same, but the technique can be practiced. You can even try using a lid from a round container if it is not too flexible. Go back to Seesaw and make a video of yourself playing your hand drum!
We have been talking about the difference between beat (the heart beat of the song) and rhythm (the way the words go). This video reviews this. At the end is an activity sheet. Instead of having a sheet to write down your answers, just think about if you are hearing a beat or a rhythm and see if you got the answer right. Hop back on Seesaw and let me know if you did a good job telling the difference between beat and rhythm!
Let's warm up our voices with this song that uses our instruments! When you are done, keep the sticks out because you will use them again!
You may remember this song from last year! Follow along and keep the beat! The second time you watch the video, use your sticks to keep the beat. When you are done, go back to Seesaw and use the microphone to sing and keep the beat on your sticks for me! I can't wait to hear you sing!
You will need your baggie of instruments for this song! Remember the song where we sing about playing different instruments? Let's start today with that!
So far for the rhyme Loose Tooth, you have played rhythm sticks and shakers for the words "loose tooth" and "wiggly jiggly". Today I am going to add something NEW! Watch and see if you can figure out what it is! When you are done, go back to seesaw and tell me the words that we "sparkled" on!
During the part of the song that goes "all day long, all day long, and I keep a singing, all day long" - keep the heart beat by patting your lap.
Then, take out your heat beat sheet from your bag and play the recording again. As you sing along, instead of keeping the beat on your lap, point to a new heart each time. How far do you get on your heart beat sheet? Share your answer in SeeSaw!
Listen to the rhyme "Loose Tooth". Today, instead of clapping when I say "loose tooth" - use your RHYTHM STICKS!
The second time, instead of wiggling your body when I say "wiggly jiggly", shake your egg shaker!
Challenge: when your instrument is not supposed to play, can you keep it totally quiet?
Listen to this poem. This is a poem, or a rhyme, and not a song because I use a TALKING voice when I say it, not a singing voice. How many times do I say the words "Loose Tooth"? How about how many times I say the word "wiggly jiggly"? You may need to listen more than once to check your answers. Then go back to SeeSaw and tell me how many times you hear me say "Loose tooth" and wiggly jiggly".
Hello! Your music work today is in three parts. First, sing along with our Wildcat 4 song! Second, listen as I read a story about a hippopotamus that likes to make a lot of noise! Third, you will be introduced to a new song. Listen to the recording and follow the directions so you can sing along!
You have three jobs today! First, our song that begins every music class! Second, you get to listen to a story and help by adding in animal sounds! Finally, we get to sing a song that uses some animal sounds! This song may be familiar to you from last year if you were here at La Farge. If not, you can join in on some of the parts that you hear repeated!
