Boomwhacker Compositions
Boomwhacker Compositions
Students worked in small groups to compose their own music based on the notes of the major scale. They learned to think like composers -- they were required to edit their composition in some way after the first draft, and the composition had to end on the note "do" to make it sound like it was finished.

Other topics we covered this month:
We listened to music from the movies E.T. and Star Wars and wrote about how the dynamics (volume) and the instruments in the music affect the mood.
Students learned to sing the round "Music Alone Shall Live."
Students began composition projects on the website Song Maker...more on that next month!
Our prayer song for the month was "Hail Mary: Gentle Woman."

During our first Music Class of the year, they learned a song from Nigeria called "Funga Alafia." The title translates to "welcome" or "blessings."
Our first unit was on the major scale. Students learned all the notes of the major scale. We listened to the song "Do Re Mi" from The Sound of Music. We have practiced singing the major scale as a class and have been working on listening to each other as we sing. In the video here, students were working in groups to arrange the Boomwhackers in the order of the major scale notes.
Our prayer song for the month was "We Are One Body," which is our school's theme song for the year.
