Activity 5

Music engraving is the act of writing music down on a staff. We're going to practice our "Music Handwriting" by copying some music down to a blank sheet of paper.

Step 1: Grab a sheet of paper and a pencil.

Step 2: Draw Three 5 Line Staffs on your paper (you may want to use a ruler).

Step 3: Divide each line into 4 measures.

Step 4: Draw the clef at the beginning of each line.

Step 5: Draw the note heads in so they match the line and space number of May Song exactly.

Step 6: Add the rhythm by copying the stems, beams, and dots.

Step 7: Add the extras! Copy the dynamics (mf, p), bowings (down & up), and other symbols you see!

Step 8: Double check you have everything.

Step 9: Play May Song by reading your handwritten version!

Note: The music below is the violin copy. If you have your book, please copy your version instead.

Activity 6

This week's activity includes a 4 page packet that teaches you a new song called Allegro.

Allegro means to play at a fast tempo. It is also the Italian word for "cheerful"!
