STICKSTOFF - Watch This!

Here's some drumming with light effects that we watched in class!

You can print this out or draw it on a blank sheet of paper.
You can create your own rhythm using a combination of quarter notes, eighth notes, and quarter rests, as seen to the left and below.
Each of these notes counts as ONE beat.

You need 4 notes per COLUMN, for each measure or section (which is shown by the lines going up and down along the longer lines going left to right) but can mix up which part of the drum to play on.
For example: You could put 2 notes in the first column next to "rim", then 2 notes next to "top", and you would play it reading left to right.
Examples of what yours could look like are below. Don't copy these exactly but make up your own!

Solfege

This picture shows hand signs and syllables for something called Solfege!
Solfege helps with not only creating and playing music, but also in singing and in communicating with other musicians!
You can always come back here to look at the picture if you forget.

Chrome Music Lab - Song maker

You can click the picture to the left to access Songmaker and begin using it!
Below, you can see how solfege is represented by each square/color and where they are in the grid.
As the notes go up or down, you'll see how they repeat themselves after going halfway up or down the page.
Try going through each color and syllable and try the hand signs out for each one!

Below you can see the solfege syllables and what colors they are on Songmaker. This is how we will communicate the different notes to each other!

Next, try copying the song below yourself and see if you know what it is when you play it back!

Come up with or create your own song by first creating a melody that you like in the top half of Songmaker!
Then, let's add something called "Harmony". Harmony can be added by putting the same colors/notes in the same spots in the lower half of Songmaker.
You can also add drums at the very bottom of Songmaker.

Go to www.incredibox.com.
Click on "Try Web Version".

Select a version to use. Different versions are different styles of music so try them all out! Some will be locked for you, so try the ones you can.
Once it loads, click the Play button.
Now you can start making music! Drag the different sounds from the bottom onto the seven beatboxers or singers and listen to what each sound is. It will change their clothes as well. It will also continuously loop your song, meaning it will continually play and repeat itself.
The play/pause button at the top right can play/pause the music.
Putting your mouse over active beatboxers will reveal icons for muting, soloing, and canceling that sound.
The three lines icon at the top left will allow you to reset, record, or go back to the home screen to try another version.
For each version, there are circle icons in the middle above the beatboxers. Clicking those will reveal what combinations of sounds will give you a bonus song and music video.
For each day, experiment with different versions and find out which one is your favorite one that you would want to use to make your own song and record to submit.
Clicking the record button will record anything you do. You can mute certain beatboxers and bring them back in later, or slowly add new ones in as the song goes on. Try experimenting with recording and what you can do!
Record a final mix/song to be submitted, at least a minute long. Look at the checklist below these instructions to know what is required!
After recording it, click Save, then type in your name, the title of the song, and a dedication if you want.
