What's up, Marvelous Musicians?!?

This week is all about melody! The melody of a song is when you hear the sound go up, down or stay the same.

We will practice this in different ways this week. You might want to find something that can act like a scarf: shirt, towel, or ribbon. You'll also need a piece of yarn, string or ribbon, if you have some.

But first, let's take a look at our May Song of the Month: Fifty Nifty. It's new & a challenge for you, PreK & Kdg, but review for 1st grade.

Watch the 'Intro to Melody' video and choose 1 or more from the 5 videos that follow. There are many ways to practice a musical melody! Enjoy!

Hey there!

First...

1. Watch the video below.

2. What are they using as instruments? Have you seen some of these things around your house?

3. Find something you could use as a drum and a shaker. Find something made of wood and something made of metal that you could use as an instrument.

4. How could you make sound with your items? Hit them together? Strike them on another object? Use your hand to hit your object?

5. Watch the video again and this time, play when they do!

**There are some videos you'll be asked to play along with in the coming weeks, so you'll want to find these "found sound items" from your house another time!

Then...

Sing through our April Song of the Month - Take Me Out To The Ballgame

Although all baseball is currently canceled, we can still learn/review our song. Maybe this is a good time to get outside and throw a ball around! :)
