***Because you are borrowing school instruments, 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 instrument, please don't hesitate to reach out to me.
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??? ;)

Review Fiddler's Hoedown
Remind yourself of the story we came up with right before Spring Break.
We were battling between instruments...and who won? Or did we compromise and find peace? ;)
In our Google classroom, find the assignment called Fiddler's Hoedown Story. Write a short story about the piece. It can be the one we came up with, or come up with your own story/characters. Listen to the piece to help you put your story together.
Here is a Google doc if you forgot your music. Find your appropriate instrument/part. You may need to copy/paste.
