Hello 4th Graders!
Hello 4th Graders!
Enjoy these activities below! Each week I will upload new lessons where you can sing, move around, be creative, play your violins, and have fun! There will be some assignments that you may need to sign in to our Music Google Classroom to complete or submit. Here are the codes below in case you aren't signed up yet:

***Because you are borrowing school violins, please take good care of them so that at the end of the school year, they are in the same condition as when you got them. Using these instruments is a privilege! I know you will take care them so make me proud. :) If something happens to your violin, please don't hesitate to reach out to me.
*My 4/5 combo strings, I would recommend following the 5th grade strings assignments.
If you have any questions, please email me at sprykhitko@sbunified.org.
Thank you,
Ms. Prykhitko

Watch both videos of different versions of Pirates of the Caribbean
Answer these questions after you have listened to both videos:
What instruments are being played in the videos?
Which version did you enjoy more? 2 cellos or the cello quartet (4 cellos)?
Why did you like that group better?
Which group sounded more intense? Why?
What do you think of each location for the videos?
Did the locations contribute to the feel of "pirates"?
Did you notice in the second video (with 4 cellos) what they are in? Is it really the inside of a ship? Or something else??? ;)
