Now watch this video for help in navigating the Music Play Online website. I will walk you through how to get to each activity and how to go between the activities.
Two weeks ago you did Sol-Mi practice on this website, now we will be adding La to the mix! Make sure to click the gray tab that says "La-So-Mi" next to "So-Mi" to get the correct echo patterns! See the video above for help in finding these.
Now you are going to get to speak and clap after these rhythms, and once you get that, play them! You will be doing the second and third gray tabs. See the video above for help in finding these.
Now here are some hand sign practices. Start with So-Mi, which is the gray tab next to "Tone Ladders & Handsigns" and do all three. Once you've done those successfully, click the next tab, La-So-Mi, and do all three of those. Do it a few times to get good practice of those handsigns! See the video above for help in finding these.
