Notation & Rhythm Review

Current Music Project

Standard Notation Review

Goal: To review and remember some of the standard music notation concepts covered in 4th grade.

Activities we have been doing:

  • MusicSwatter Baseball- Listen to a pattern and swat the correct notation as fast as you can

  • Simon Says- Listen and echo back the tonal pattern

  • Poison Rhythm- Echo rhythm patterns, but be careful not to perform the "poison rhythm"

  • I-Spy Music Hooks- Find the notated patterns in a packet of student-selected songs.

Rhythm & Ensemble Work

In some classes, we've been working on feeling the beat, reading rhythms, and playing together in ensembles. Take a look:
