Music for Joy- from Mr. Saletta

Updateded 5/12/2021:

Hello families,

I've provided this site as a resource for students and families during any periods of at-home learning and for our full-time, on-line learners.

5/12/21: I've added Session 5 and some new activities in the grade level tabs for the next few weeks' music lessons. Please click on your grade level tab above to find the new sessions (all posted on 5/12/21). If you ever have any questions about the content, please reach out to me! I would love to assist you!

ALSO!!!!! Check out in the tab "Cool Music Websites" the newest addition "Incredibox," a super fun way to create thousands of awesome beats. Have fun creating and share with me!!!

... and please also explore the tab "More Essential Elements Activities" where you'll find other fun music activities to do.

Please stay healthy, and I hope you enjoy making some music at home!

Have fun, and I can't wait to see you all again, SOON, in person!

Sing!

I hope you enjoy this little round "I Love the Flowers" that my wife and I sing for you! Learn it, sing it with your family in unison or as a round!

Here is a super fun rock passing game from Ghana, called "Obwisana." Give it a try with your family!

Listen and Dance!

Check out this cool video of me and my wife playing a Klezmer tune "Freylach Number 2" from the Jewish culture.

History and Culture

Watch my first quarantine time video "Funiculi, Funicula" that I've also posted to our Blue Jays Band Facebook page, if haven't seen it yet.

Watch a performance of the original version of "Funiculi, Funicula." Compare and contrast with my video. Which style do you like better? Why?
