Instrument Lessons!

Students in grades 4 and 5 explored with musical patterns and sequences through Chrome Music Lab’s Song Maker (link). Chrome Music Lab is a website that makes learning music more accessible through fun, hands-on experiments. It can also be used as a tool to explore music and its connections to science, math, art, and more (Check it out here!). 

Some students broadened their own exploration and decoded some of their favorite songs! They created the visuals by matching it to an example they've seen on youtube and also by using their ears to decode the rhythm and notes! You might catch some of these familiar tunes when listening to the examples. Musical elements such as melody, instrumentation timbre, rhythm, and tempo were explored. Students had creative choice on these elements and how to stylize their own music. The self-composed videos are examples of this exploration!
