On the far right where it says Games, click on "Rhythm Racing," then click Level 4. You'll see a rhythm and then hear one played. Click on yes if the rhythm you hear matches what you see, and no if it doesn't. Continue until you've finished the game. How did you do?

Another Fugue
Another Fugue
Here's another example of a fugue based on a melody you may have heard on the radio. Do you know who wrote the melody?
"Yankee Doodle Stick Game"
"Yankee Doodle Stick Game"
On the left, under song list, scroll down to song #54. It's called "Yankee Doodle Stick Game." Most of you learned to sing "Yankee Doodle" back when in first grade if you had me for music class.
Find something you can use as an instrument at your house and play the beat with the song and then the rhythm.
Create your own rhythm that you can play with this song. Write down what you create.
Next, compose a rhythm composition for several instruments that you have at your house. Remember, lots of things at your house can be used as instruments - spoons, pencils, a box, etc. Be creative!
Create your own stick passing game to accompany the song. Teach it to your family. Watch the kids demo video for some ideas!
"Pachelbel's Chicken"
"Pachelbel's Chicken"
This one is just for fun. It made me laugh when I watched it, so I thought you might like it too. Enjoy!
"Little Organ Fugue"
"Little Organ Fugue"
This is another famous piece composed by Bach, and one of his most famous fugues. A fugue is a contrapuntal music composition whose basic structure consists of a theme or themes stated successfully in different voices. Watch the three different versions. Which one did you like the best? Why? Compare and contrast each performance.
