PERFORMING ARTS

TERM three

Welcome to the Performing Arts Home Learning page FOR TERM THREE

Hi there,

Thank you for visiting the Performing Arts page again during this time at home.

To begin online learning this term, the activities on the Performing Arts page will be set out a little bit differently, with all students provided with the same task of which can be simplified for the younger year levels or extended for the older levels. (The levels may be separated as the term progresses) This means, for now, that all students will have the opportunity to complete these tasks in a way that is suitable for your own level and of which is appropriate to your own interests. If you are a Middle or Senior student, you may take the ideas from these activities as far as you like and add in your own creative touch. If you want to add an instrument or some music technology programming to the tasks... it's up to you. The sky is the limit! I can't wait to see what you all come up with.

A SPA Choir video will be added to the weekly tasks this term also. (Scroll below for an exciting announcement)

So, once again, I hope you enjoy making music, singing, dancing and acting at home. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask and I will see you all real soon!

From,

Mrs. Pagonis

*IMPORTANT * STUDENT VIDEO DISCLAIMER FOR PERFORMING ARTS

Throughout this term during online remote learning, I will be calling on students to record themselves singing, dancing or playing some percussion in a video that is recorded at home. Please make sure that you are dressed appropriately and that all videos include a background that is appropriate for everyone to see. All videos that are sent to me always need Mum and Dad's permission and will be sent via the SeeSaw app, so that parents are aware of the content being sent to me for school purposes only. I will assume that any video that is sent has been approved by the parents first and that it is okay to publish these recordings for the purpose of school collaborations or projects during this time at home. If See Saw is not working, you can send a video via email with parental permission.

Thank you kindly, Mrs. Pagonis.

Friday September 18th - 12:30-1:10pm

If you would like to attend a special Performing Arts Zoom session during our last week of school, please send me an email saying "I WOULD LIKE TO ATTEND THE PERFORMING ARTS ZOOM" to epagonis@spadoreen.catholic.edu.au. This session will be your Performing Arts task for Week 9, where we will be able to catch up, sing, dance and reflect on the learning from the Performing Arts page during Term Three. The Zoom session is open to ALL year levels from Prep - Year Six. In the meantime, please submit your video for our Whole School Project, as part of your Week 7 & 8 tasks. I hope to see you in the Zoom session! Mrs. Pagonis :)

SPA - Happy project.mp4

spa happy project video

This brings us to the end of Term Three on the Performing Arts page. This term we have done such an amazing job expressing and explaining how we perceive music and how music can effect our mood. We ended this topic this term by learning the song HAPPY and putting together this fantastic video! Well done to everyone who contributed to this video. I'm so very proud of everyone who has sent me a video or response this term and I can't wait to see you (hopefully) in Term Four!

PS: Make sure you email me if you would like to attend our last Performing Arts class this Friday at 12:30pm. Mrs. Pagonis!

Term three - week seven and eight (all year levels)

whole school project #2 - "Happy"

All videos need to be submitted by Friday 11th September to be featured in the project

now for a fun song to end the term with!

Hello everyone! Click on the link next to this text to read through the instructions for our next whole school video to the song HAPPY!

I recommend taking time in week 7 to learn the song, sing it to your family and practicing it from start to finish. I have provided the music with lyrics below and then the backing track which you will need to sing along to while listening to this in your headphones for your final video.

In week 8, I would like you to once again, record a video of you singing
Happy. If you would like to also record a short video of you dancing to this, that is great! However, only record your dancing if you have submitted your singing first (As we need as many singers as possible in the video!) You may also play an instrument if you wish.

If you have any questions - please email me on epagonis@spadoreen.catholic.edu.au. If you have problems uploading your video to an email, please upload to your google drive and share it with me from there. I can't wait to put this one together!

Once you are comfortable with the song, practice singing along to this karaoke track, which you will use when you record your video.

week 6: a song that makes me feel inspired

This was our last week looking at Mood in music. Thank you to everyone who submitted a video or a written response over the term. After our whole school project, I will be asking you to write a journal reflection about this topic in Week 9. In the meantime, I hope you enjoy this video of songs that inspire the students at SPA!

Next week we will have a new mood to focus on again!
Note: The second last video was sent in by Jagger from the Middles. His name didn't save to the video, so, my apologies Jagger!

Hello everyone,

Due to the passing of my beloved grandmother this week, I've made the decision to postpone our rehearsal, just to take some time to rest and be there for my family during this challenging period. The SPA Choir Zoom rehearsal scheduled for Friday 14th August will be postponed until next week. The new date will be Friday the 21st of August at 1:30pm. Please send email with interest if you would like to attend.

Thank you for your understanding.

Week four: a song that makes me feel sad

As you know by now, music can affect how we feel in all sorts of ways. Part of the reason why we are looking at this in Performing Arts, ties in with the Senior inquiry topic of Perception. The way we feel about different songs is totally because of our own perception, our individual moods and the memories that we have.

This week we will explore music that makes us feel sad. Click on my video above to hear more about this week's task and my sad song.

Make sure to check out the "SPA'S Nostalgic songs" video from last week's task. I have also included a video by Oliver and Benjamin Tran who presented the same song in two different ways this week. Please send me your response to epagonis@spadoreen.catholic.edu.au and let me know if you would like me to publish your video next week too!

This week's mood is relaxed. What is a song that makes you feel relaxed or chilled? What about your song makes it sound relaxed? Click on my video to hear more about this task.
Like last week, I would like you to create a video of this song and send it to me via email. You can create a creative video in any way that you like. I would prefer your video to include the music and to hear you singing or see you dancing. If you would like to use Garageband or create a presentation via Imovie that is okay too.

SPA's happy songs (week one)

Click on this video to hear and watch some of the awesome video's that I received last week. These students sent in a recording or presentation about a song that makes them feel happy. What talent we have at SPA!!
PSST!... a little birdy told me that next year we might be having another SPATACULAR (Showcase of learning) again. (But, you didn't hear it from me) So, it would be fantastic to see you performing and preparing to sing/dance in front of others again. After all, that is what Performing Arts is all about!

happy 4.MOV

happy2.MOV

MOOD.

Just like how we feel different emotions, music has different kinds of moods as well. Music can help us to feel so many different ways and can help us when we are dealing with our own emotions.

Sometimes it is the types of instruments that are playing, the tempo of the music, the words in the song or even the way that the singer is singing the words that can change the mood of the music.

In a time like remote learning, let music into your home and enjoy a variety of songs with all types of moods.

week ONE: a song that makes me feel happy

What is a song that makes you feel happy? Click the video above to find out mine!
Record a short video with the name of the song, why it makes you feel happy and what it is about that song in particular that makes it sound happy. (Is it the tempo of the music, the words of the song, the instruments that are playing or even the way the singer sounds?)
Preps and Juniors, you can record yourself singing this song by yourself or with the music. You might even want to just tell me about your song and why it makes you feel happy while the music is playing in the background. It's your choice!
Middles and Seniors, you may like to come up with your own dance routine to your selected song or write a written response. Keep the time of the video to 1 minute maximum and the written response to one paragraph. (PS: If you would like your family to participate in your video also, that is okay too!)
Send your video to Mrs. Pagonis in the Performing Arts section on the SeeSaw app so that I can create a special video called "Our Happy Songs" for everyone to check out next week! If you are sending a written response, it can be sent to my email epagonis@spadoreen.catholic.edu.au.
Remember, it is a requirement that you are participating in the Performing Arts program and I will be asking all students to send me work samples weekly. The See Saw code to access the Performing Arts is at the top of this page.
