Here are some activities you can do on Fridays if you'd like extra music. If you choose to do any of this extra learning please share it with me by creating a video on flipgrid. (see link in the heading)
1. Listening to Music
1. Listening to Music
Music is everywhere and I'm sure you have a favorite style of music. In the tab above labeled Listening suggestions you will find the classical works that are suggested by the state music standards to be introduced organized by grade level. Please google a few and listen and discuss music as a family. Here are some questions to get the conversation flowing:
Did you like the music we just listened to?
What did you like or not like about it? (the rhythm, volume, tempo, instruments)
Can you name any of the instruments you heard?
If this music went with a movie, what do you think the movie would be about?
Does this music inspire you to draw/paint or move/dance? What would your drawing look like? or how would you move to this music?
If a particular piece really moves you and you want to send me a video talking to me about the music, telling me your movie idea, or showing me your drawing or dance, please send it to flip grid (see links in heading)
2. Sing (or rap) a rhyming book
2. Sing (or rap) a rhyming book
Find a book you have that uses rhyming phrases and create an original melody. Sing me your book on flip grid. If you think you'd prefer to rap, go to Q-Grooves to make your background track and then rap your book to me.
If you are nervous, you can hold the book up in a way that we can't see your face.
3. kitchen concerto/Found sounds
3. kitchen concerto/Found sounds
With permission from your adult, pull out the pots and pans, whisks and spoons, spices and containers of noodles/oatmeal/rice and anything else you can find and just jam out. This will sound the best if you can get your whole household to play along. The materials are what make the sounds, so try a wooden spoon on a metal bowl, a metal spoon on a metal bowl, etc. until you have the sound you like. Once you've selected your found sounds, listen to each other play and try to get a groove going on.
Take video trying this activity and send it to flipgrid

Use Flip grid to tell me about the lessons, games or quaver creatives you are doing.
5. Do you have access to an instrument at home?
5. Do you have access to an instrument at home?
(recorder, piano, guitar, ukulele, drum set...)
(recorder, piano, guitar, ukulele, drum set...)
With all this extra time, you should definitely pick up that old keyboard/recorder/ guitar and make some noise! Use google, or your parents knowledge of their old instrument and practice making music together. Make sure you leave a video on Flip grid to share with others... bonus points if you have something eccentric like an accordion or auto-harp.
Use flip grid to play something for me.

6. Make your own instruments!
6. Make your own instruments!
Use your imagination and things around your house or in your recycle bin to make your own instrument. If you are stuck for ideas, you can always check out ideas on google or pinterest to make 1 or several instruments. It is super easy to make shakers and scrapers. A super challenge would be using different levels of water in glasses to make a water xylophone.
Use flip grid to show you creating or playing your instrument
7. Disney karaoke challenge
7. Disney karaoke challenge
Ok, if you love singing this is the one for you! Find a Disney karaoke track and make a video singing the song. Maybe I'll even put a few of them together to put onto the school website!
*You'll need to either use 2 devices or memorize the text and use two tabs on your computer so you can have your flip grid up. You would hit start on the music track then open your other tab and hit the record button on Flipgrid.
