RM, Bounce high 11/18 (2020-11-18 at 07:09 GMT-8)

Watch the video to the left. We review Rocky Mountain and another song from second grade (it is easy - no worries if you were not here in 2nd grade!). Our focus is on how the MELODY moves - notes moving higher and lower. When you are finished, go back to Google Classroom and complete the attached slide showing how the melody moves for Bounce High, Bounce Low!

Listen and echo

Above is a video to practice reading rhythms. I read the rhythm to you and you immediately repeat the rhythm after me. It uses the following notes:

quarter note (ta) - one sound on a beat

paired eighth notes (ti-ti) - two sounds on a beat

quarter rest (tap shoulders) - one beat of SILENCE

half notes (ta-ah) - one sound that lasts two beats

The video mentions another video to do if this one was easy for you. That video will be for next time - so you may repeat this video for extra practice!

This is rhythm practice for those of you who were in class to learn dotted half notes. I would like you to please read through each of these rhythms - clap and "ta". Remember that the half notes (note head not colored in but with a stem) is two beats and a half rest (the little thing that looks like a hat) is two beats of quiet. The half note followed by a dot gets three beats. Each square has a rhythm that is FOUR beats long. There are two unfamiliar symbols on this card. I bet you can figure it out! Go back to Google Classroom and tell me what you think they mean!

Wake Up Jacob

Hello! Today you will need the sheet that you picked up from school on Friday. You are going to be figuring out which beat each of the syllables of the song goes on. When you have your paper in front of you and a pencil, click on the video to the left and find out what to do. Remember to take a picture of your work and upload it or email it to me. Then, the paper can be returned to school on Friday.

RHYTHM flashcards

Please practice reading each of the flashcards in your envelope. Be sure to clap and slide to your elbow for the half note (the note with the note head not colored in) and to tap your shoulders while being silent for the rest (the squiggle).

Wake Up Jacob

We know that there are 4 phrasese in this song, and 8 beats in each phrase. Point along with the beats on your screen as you sing along (click the image to hear a recording). I have filled some of the words in on the beat chart - be sure that you are keeping the beat steady so that you are singing the word that appears on the heart as you are singing it.

Rocky Mountain

Last time we did this song, you sang only the part that keeps coming back. This is called the REFRAIN. Today, I would like you to try to sing the VERSES - the section of the song that has different words (lyrics) each time it happens. Be careful of that third verse!

In the Hall of the Mountain King

How did you keep up with the rhythms last time? Give it another try today! When you get to the half notes, instead of tapping the egg shaker on your open hand, give it a good shake for two beats to sho the long sound of the half notes (the note with the note head not colored in).

Wake Up Jacob

Today I am going to have you echo sing each phrase of the song Wake Up Jacob. The recording is above. If you listen carefully, you can hear me patting the steady beat. Your job is to count and see how many beats are in each phrase of the song. When you are done echo singing, go back to Google Classroom and give me the answer in the google form that is attached.

Practice reading these rhythms,

Read them at a comfortable speed for you, then try to go faster. Make sure to keep the beat steady. You will be following along and reading these rhythms with a piece of classical music in the next video!

Follow along with the rhythms!

This is like rhythm karaoke! You can follow the little musician as he bounces on the rhythm shown on the screen that matches with the rhythm of the music. It is fast! I would like you to do this twice - the first time, read the ta's and ti-ti's (and ta-ah's) the second time, you can use the egg shaker in the bag you picked up at school. Hold one hand open, and hold the egg in the other hand. Tap the rhythm on your open hand with the egg - this will give you the cleanest sound. How will you make a sound that lasts two beats with your egg? Answer in google classroom!

Sing our opening song!

Rhythm reading check up

Hello third graders! We have been practicing reading rhythms that use ta's (quarter notes), ti-ti's (pairs of eighth notes), quarter rests (one beat of silence that looks like a squiggle) and ta-ah's (half notes - sounds that last for two beats).

In a bag that you picked up on Friday you will find an envelope with 10 different rhythms in it. Today I would like you to practice saying those rhythms. Practice reading each one at least three times.

We will work to arrange a time to Google Meet so I can see how you are doing! If you are not feeling confident about these rhythms, please do your best! If I can see and hear what is hard for you, I can help!

Rocky Mountain

Please sing along with the repeated parts of the song - the "do, do,do,do, Do remember me" parts. This is called the REFRAIN. As you sing, clap the rhythm (the way the words go), You will notice that some of the words are longer than one beat. When you clat the rhythm of those long sounds, clap on the sound and slide your hand from your palm to your elbow for beat two.

Practice reading the rhythms!

Remember in second grade we learned that when one note equals two beats (a long note!) we say Ta-ah and clap on the beat and slide your hand from your hand to your elbow to show the long sound. In this video, they say "toe" instead of Ta-ah. We will still say Ta-ah when we read the rhythms, but the most important thing is just making the sound last two beats!
