On Mondays, I will post a lesson. The newest lesson will be at the top. Please make sure to check out our Favourite Songs - new songs every week! Have fun making music!
Questions or comments? I would love to see what you have done this week! Email me at ashum@sd61.bc.ca
Listen: Watch the video and find the form of the song. Then watch the US Marine Band's performance. This song was written by John Philip Sousa, who also wrote Thunderer's March.
Play: This march was used by the comedy group, Monty Python. Watch their skit Ministry of Silly Walks. Can you make up a silly walk for each part of the march? You can also try the game Show Me Your Moves or Animal Kingdom with your friends/family.
Learn: The past few weeks have been very difficult for many people around the world. Talk to your family, friends, and teachers about how we can make the world a better place for everyone. Here are some songs to inspire you:
Glory - by Common and John Legend
One Love - by Elle Varner
Get Up, Stand Up - by Bob Marley and Peter Tosh
Monday: make your own instruments
Tuesday: listen to Something From Nothing and play along with your instruments
Wednesday: listen to Jimmy Fallon and the Roots sing with their at-home instruments!
Thursday: play Show Me Your Moves with your family or your friends (at a distance!)
Friday: sing and do actions to the song Napoleon
