GARAGE BAND TIME!
1) PRACTICE reading one or two of the poems listed below. Where it says "pause", don't say "pause", just stop for about 5 seconds, then continue.
2) When you're ready to record, find your Garage Band app on your iPad, I'm not sure what your iPad will do from your end, but you'll need to Create a Song, and then find the microphone option (Audio Recorder). Click on "Voice". Now click on the blue outline triangle with some lines that make it look like an old-fashioned metronome, it should turn white after you touch it. This will take away a "ticking" sound as you speak.
Press the red button when you're ready to record. WAIT UNTIL IT COUNTS TO 4 BEFORE SPEAKING! Read your poem, then click on the white square to stop. There are 2 triangles by the red dot. (see picture below). You can rewind to the beginning of your recording, then play it back so you can hear if it's satisfactory for you.
3) Save this, because next week we will be adding music/sound effects to your recording! TO SAVE, click on the solid WHITE rectangle (looks like a piece of paper with a fold on the corner). It will go into a Garage Band file- if you wish to rename it, click on the "My Song 1", and type in your desired title.
4) FOR FUN, click on "Create Song" again, go to the Voice from Audio Recorder agian. Click on the "fun" bar next to "studio". You can record your voice to sound like a chipmunk, robot, alien, etc.

2) Click on your project. In the upper LEFT hand you'll see what looks like a box with 2 smaller boxes on both sides of it.
SLIDE along until you see "SOUND LIBRARY".
3) Click on SOUND LIBRARY. Scroll down a LITTLE until you see "TOY BOX".
4) Click on TOY BOX, you will "GET" Toy Box. THIS WILL TAKE A WHILE TO LOAD, SO BE PATIENT!!!
5) Once you think it's loaded, click "DONE", then click "BACK" (upper left hand).
6) Get to your project again, to a screen where you see blue/green horizontal strip(s). If you can't find it, click on the white "paper" and click on your project. It should look SIMILAR to the one below (smaller picture). Now, click on the LOOP on the upper right - next to the "gear wheel".
Click on any of the loops to see what you like, and what you'd like to add to your song. Once you find something, click and drag it UNDER your recording. You'll find that if you tap on the blue/green bars, you can delete them, trim them, etc.

Go to the link below, SCROLL DOWN, and refresh your memory (READ) about notes on the treble clef- You'll see that they use a different acronym for the lines (Every Good Boy Does Fine)- In my classroom we used Elvis' Guitar Broke Down Friday. The letters are the same, so which ever acronym you wish to use is perfectly fine!
Once you're comfortable knowing the notes on the staff, SCROLL UP and play the game! You can play as many times as you'd like- the words change with each game! The game doesn't give you a score, so you don't need to show me anything from this. But I DO want you to play the game at least 2 times.

Oh the weather outside is frightful, but the fire is so delightful. And since we've no place to go, let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.
Oh it doesn't show signs of stopping, and I've brought some corn for popping. The lights are turned way down low, let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!
When we finally say goodnight, how I hate going out in the snow. But you'll only hold me tight, all the way home I'll be warm!
Oh the fire is slowly dying, and my dear we're still goodbye-ing, but as long as you love me so, let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

WINTER WONDERLAND
Sleigh bells ring. Are you listnin'? In the lane, snow is glistnin'. A beautiful sight, we're happy tonight. Walking in a winter wonderland!
Gone away is the bluebird. Here to stay is the new bird. He sings a love song, as we stroll along. Walking in a winter wonderland.
In the meadow we can build a snowman, and pretend he is Parson Brown. He'll say "are you married?", we'll say "No man! But you can do the job when you're in town!"
Later on, we'll conspire as we dream by the fire. To face unafraid, the plans that we made. Walking in a winter wonderland.
In the meadow we can build a snowman. And pretend that he's a circus clown. We'll have lots of fun with Mr. Snowman, until the other kiddies knock him down!
When it snows, ain't it thrillin'? Though your nose gets a chillin'? We'll frolic and play, the Eskimo way, walking in a winter wonderland. Walking in a winter wonderland!

Listen closely to the words, and try to guess what it is. Watch the flipgrid 2-3 times, and do your best to follow along. Once you feel comfortable with it, try it by yourself? Does it sound like my flipgrid? Don't give up! If you have this mastered, send me a flipgrid/video of you saying it & clapping it. Then if you want, clap it without the words. CHALLENGE LEVEL- Challenge yourself and try to teach it to someone, then record the 2 of you performing it, and send it to me! Here are the words:
"It's tough to have a job where you work all day, and never ever ever ever get to sit. If only I could move, I'd shout hooray, and I'd twist and then I'd bend and then I'd stretch a bit!"
GARAGE BAND- Click on the Garage Band Tutorial 1 link below and watch the tutorial on Garage Band. Try your hand at creating a song! I learn new stuff in Garage Band every time I use it. Let me know how you did! I have no required assignment for this yet except to watch the video and experiment on your iPad. Have fun!

Spend some time working on "Jazz Computer". Then go to the flipgrid link, and let me know what you did, and what you noticed!!
Jazz.Computer is an interactive song that responds to your scrolling. Listeners can modify the tempo, chords, arrangement and timbre of the music by simply scrolling up or down. Jazz.Computer recontextualizes this mundane gesture (scrolling) as an expressive and immediate musical control.
Click on the link above, and use 2 fingers on your iPad to scroll through the song! Try different speeds, and scroll in different directions. What do you notice? Feel free to email me or respond to my flipgrid after you try it. kmmarble@mpsomaha.org
2. Sing My Country Tis of Thee and God Bless America 2 times each (or MORE, if you'd like to!!)
3. ECHO GAME- How far can YOU go?!!! It gets difficult fast, see how far you can go with this fun game! You don't need to send me a video or flipgrid, just email me and let me know how far you got. HAVE FUN! kmmarble@mpsomaha.org
Echo is a musical puzzle game. The objective is to match a given musical pattern by creating loops while avoiding collisions. The loops combine to make tracks and tracks combine to make songs. While the game starts off relatively easy, it quickly ramps in complexity with more pieces and more intricate puzzles.

This song was too long for Flipgrid, so you'll need to watch these videos. Your assignment for this is to make a video of yourself moving to this song, but make up your own "statue" moves. Watch the videos closely, you'll see that I only created 7 different "statues". That's all that you'll have to do during this song. If you're struggling with this, email me at kmmarble@mpsomaha.org Good luck, and HAVE FUN!!!!

Week of April 27th- Note Spelling- EASY PEEZY LEMON SQUEEZY!!!
Go to the link below, SCROLL DOWN, and refresh your memory (READ) about notes on the treble clef- You'll see that they use a different acronym for the lines (Every Good Boy Does Fine)- In my classroom we used Elvis' Guitar Broke Down Friday. The letters are the same, so which ever acronym you wish to use is perfectly fine!
Once you're comfortable knowing the notes on the staff, SCROLL UP and play the game! You can play as many times as you'd like- the words change with each game! The game doesn't give you a score, so you don't need to show me anything from this. But I DO want you to play the game at least 2 times.
CLICK BELOW:
*2. Make a list of as many words as you can using the letters used on the treble clef (A, B, C, D, E, F, G).
