Every day is a good opportunity to continue growing as a musician. Every day is a good opportunity to strengthen your body.
MUSIC
Listening, composing, creating, playing instruments and learning about composers are all great ways to keep your music learning muscles growing strong.
Choose one activity from this menu each day:
Listen silently for 2 minutes (or more!) to the sounds in your home or outside. Make a list of all the sounds you hear. When you listen, think about the ways that music is all around us.
Make a list of your favorite songs. What makes you love a song? What music qualities does it have that makes you enjoy it?
Ask your caring adult for a few sturdy pots & pans two spoons. Create some interesting rhythms by tapping long and short sounds in different combinations.
Write a short song about a favorite topic! Sing it for a family member, a neighbor, or even a pet.
Sing a song you’ve been learning in music class. Practice it in front of a mirror and check to see if your face is being expressive! Great musicians use their face to convey the message of the song.
Write a review of your favorite animated show with music.
Create a dance for your favorite song. Use different movements for the different parts of the song (eg. chorus, refrain, bridge)
Make a playlist for your best friend. What songs would cheer them up on a rainy day? What songs would inspire them?
Create an illustration (picture) for your favorite song.
