LADYBUG NOTATION!
DIRECTIONS:
1) LISTEN AND SING!
Sing along, keep the beat, and act out the songs!
2)CREATE LADYBUG THUMBPRINT NOTES!
What does the word LADYBUG look like with music notes?
HINT: the word LA-DY BUG is similar to our notes,
AP-PLE PIE or Ti-Ti Ta.
*Find a piece of blank paper
*Create several thumbprints on your paper-
for finger prints: use a stamp pad, a little water color paint on a plate,
or take a marker and color your fingertips with a little water!
* Draw some note stems on your ladybug thumbprints!
*LA-DY BUG is equal to our notes, AP-PLE PIE
or Ti-Ti Ta, (eighth-eighth quarter).
*Create a background scene for the ladybugs!
Extension: Are there other insects or spring words to add to the notation?
Example: Bug (Ta) Tulip (Ti-Ti) purple flower (Ti-ka-ti-ka)
Refer to the popsicle stick notation word guide link for rhythms,
and come up with rhythms to fit spring words.

FIRST GRADE MUSIC- LESSONS TEN/ELEVEN/TWELVE- CARNIVAL OF THE ANIMALS
*Pick a few movements/sections to listen to each day!
*Move to the music like the animal or subject in the title!
About Carnival of the Animals:
Composer: Camille Saint-Saens (1835 - 1921) France
When Camille Saint-Saens was just a toddler, his mother and his great-aunt began teaching him music. He was only five years old when he gave his first public piano performance. When he was seven, he began to study with other teachers, and had already begun composing his own music. He became one of the most famous French composers.
Saint-Saens also liked to write poetry, scientific papers, and essays about music. Sometimes he made enemies because he insulted his fellow musicians when he wrote about them.
The Carnival of the Animals was initially written for that purpose, but now is a well known piece, which depicts different animals though music.
The piece is written for a symphony orchestra and has fourteen different movements that cleverly use sounds created by instruments to mimic the sounds of different animals. A performance of the whole piece lasts about twenty-five minutes!
Carnival of the Animals downloadable packet link option:
https://tinyurl.com/y8zk38x7
This packet includes color pages with a picture for each movement/section, with the main melody notated on a staff at the bottom. If you have a printer, this would be a fun packet to use as you listen to each section of the piece!
As you listen to each movement with the videos below, describe what types of musical elements you hear the composer use to represent the animal or subject:
Which tempo is used? Largo (slow), andante (walking speed), or presto (fast)
Which dynamics (volume) are used? piano (soft), forte (loud), or somewhere in between- mp, or mf?
Is the music short and staccato, or long and legato?
What other special elements or instruments do you hear that make you think of that animal?
1) INTRODUCTION and the ROYAL MARCH OF THE LION:
The piano and strings play a grand march
2) HENS AND ROOSTERS:
The piano plays a "clucking" tune, then "Cockadoodledoo" as the violins cluck louder.
3) WILD DONKEYS:
The pianos play a helter-skelter tune like donkeys jumping around
4) THE TORTOISES:
Very slow piano chords, with the strings, play the Can-Can.
This should be a fast dance and Saint-Saens is poking fun at Oppenbach, the composer of the Can-Can.
5) ELEPHANT:
6) KANGAROOS
7) THE AQUARIUM
8) PERSONS WITH LONG EARS:
9) CUCKOO IN THE WOODS:
Can you hear the clarinet playing the "cuckoo" sound?
10) THE AVIARY
11) THE PIANISTS
12) FOSSILS
Can you hear the marimba playing sounds like bones dancing?
Saint-Saens hid several other songs in this movement!
*Listen carefully at about 30 seconds in, can you hear a famous children's song hidden in here?
13) THE SWAN
Smooth and elegant cello solo, sounds like swan gliding across the water
Entire piece:
NEED A BREAK? HERE ARE SOME EASY SONGS & IDEAS FOR FUN!
Get up and sing and add creative movements!
Five Green & Speckled Frogs
Added creative outdoor idea: have your child find five rocks outside, and paint them green with speckles!
Put them on a wood block, stick, bench, or whatever, and move the rocks each time one jumps into the pond as you sing!
Toombah e Lero- CALL & RESPONSE
Creative movement idea: Grab a piece of fabric, scarf, ribbon, or napkin! Have your child move the scarf on the "Call" part, and you can be their "response" (you do whatever movement they made with their scarf on the echo!)
TRADE! Now YOU or a sibling can be the call, and your child can be the response (echo)
ROUND & ROUND- make a ribbon stick!
Creative movement idea: You can make your OWN ribbon stick at home, like the ones we have in music class!
RIBBON STICK DIRECTIONS: take a small stick from outside/craft dowel/or long pencil would work too!
Tape or glue a long piece of ribbon to the end of it
And... you have a ribbon stick! It'll provide hours of creative movement to this song or to any music!
"I'm So Happy!"
Can you sing along with the melody?
Get up, get your wiggles out, and sing and dance with the added movements!
Added activity idea- search your kitchen drawers or pantry and find things you could combine together to make a fun percussion section or "drum set" to play along to this song with!
(pots, pans, spoons, sticks, rice, macaroni, dried beans, etc...don't forget to check your recycling bin!)
FIRST GRADE MUSIC-VIRTUAL LEARNING LESSON ONE:
Reviewing Kindness Week and Musical Terms:
Each grade-level participated in Kindness Activities in music, art, and PE this past week. Ask your children about the "Notes of Kindness" we created during 1st Grade music classes! They should have brought them home to hang up, and are filled with colorful compliments! Students can create another music note at home now! We took a plain paper plate, attached a colorful note stem, added student name, then passed the plates around the circle, and every student added words of kindness to all student plates! Kids can make a similar one at home and have family members come up with kind words, or for an alternative musical activity, help children add musical terms and notes to the middle of their plate that we've learned so far. They will need your help in spelling these terms! Be sure to ask them what these terms mean as you help them add the terms or notes to the plate!
Term Review:
FORTE (loud)
PIANO (soft)
LARGO (slow)
ANDANTE (walking speed)

FIRST GRADE MUSIC- VIRTUAL LEARNING LESSON TWO:
DRAW A TREBLE CLEF! Remember reading our Freddie the Frog book a couple weeks ago? We saw that Freddie lived on Treble Clef Island!
Watch this video clip as Gina explains where the treble clef lives on the musical STAFF, and how YOU can practice drawing some on your own! After you watch Gina's song, find a piece of paper and trace a ruler to make FIVE lines for your staff! How many treble clef symbols can YOU draw on your new staff?
Gina and the Treble Clef
Reviewing TEMPO with Freddie the Frog interactive Rhythm builder!
Below you will find the link to the interactive game we played on the SMARTBOARD in class a couple weeks ago, when we learned about the tempo terms! Be sure to play the tempo game with a friend or family member, and teach them all about the tempo terms and names of our rhythms used in the game! Have fun, explore, create, and clap all the different combinations you can make together!

FIRST GRADE MUSIC- VIRTUAL LEARNING LESSON THREE:
*ACTIVITY: POPSICLE STICK NOTATION!
The students are familiar with this activity from music class and music learning centers days, and love it!
Supplies Needed: about one dozen popsicle or craft sticks.
You could also use straws, or have your child go outside and gather some small branches/twigs!
(If you don't have any at home, the next time your family eats a box of popsicles, save and wash the sticks! Or, you can purchase a package of about 50 of them from JoAnn Fabrics, or any store, in the kids crafts area for under 5.00)
*Click the following tinyurl link for samples of notes they are familiar with
HINT: when building our stick notation, we don't use the note heads, only the stems!
*There are also blank cards in this file, you can download and print off if you are able.
Encourage your child to draw the notes/symbols on the blank cards in an order they plan to build with the popsicle sticks. Once built, have them clap and say their creations with you!
They can also cut the cards, and assemble them into different orders to make different rhythm patterns!
*1st Grade knows how to build and clap the following with popsicle sticks -
we use little foam hearts for quarter rest, but they can use any item!
PIE (quarter note/"Ta")
APPLE (Eighth note pair/ "Ti-Ti")
HUCKLEBERRY (4 sixteenth notes/ "Ti-ka-Ti-ka")
SHH (Quarter Rest/ "rest")
FIRST GRADE MUSIC- VIRTUAL LEARNING LESSON FOUR- CREATE!:
Create your own music!
Check out the awesome links below for students to explore sounds, rhythms, looping, and creating their own digital music!
Explore and create music with instruments from around the world! (PBS Kids)
https://pbskids.org/luna/games/carmens-world-orchestra
Peg & Cat (PBS Kids)
https://pbskids.org/peg/games/music-maker
Monster Music (PBS Kids)
https://pbskids.org/sesame/games/monster-music/
*After exploring the links above, find a few items around your home that you can create sounds with. Set them out in an order in which you'll play.
Create a special rhythm for each "instrument" to play.
(Use rhythms that you know from class: Pie, Apple, Huckleberry, Rest, and Pie-eye)
Try to make a pattern and write it out for each instrument! Get family members involved and play your new song with your "band!"
*If you forgot what those rhythms look like, here's a sample link from last week:
HAVE FUN!
If you are able, have a parent take a little video of your creation and share it with Mrs. Berchem at aberchem@sasd.net
We'd LOVE to see the cool things you are creating and composing!
FIRST GRADE MUSIC- VIRTUAL LEARNING LESSON FIVE- LAND OF THE SILVER BIRCH:
During third quarter, the first graders have been learning native songs from various Native American tribes,
as well as tribal nations of Canada.
With those songs, we've learned about native instruments, traditions,
stick passing games, stick hiding games, and some lullabies.
While this is NOT an actual Native American Indian song, it is a folk song from Canada,
and has many similarities to the native pieces we have learned.
*After listening to the links below, ask your child how this song sounds similar to others we've learned this quarter.
1) Listen to the first video below to get an idea of the song, then encourage your child to listen to the second video version and sing along with the lyrics that come up on the screen during the video. These arrangements are slightly different, but all folk songs have many variations, and this is a great example of how folk songs have slight variations!
2) After singing along, encourage your child to gather two sticks from outside (about the size of our classroom rhythm sticks) and try the stick patterns we've learned in class. They can do this outside, on the porch, or bring the sticks in, and have them show you the stick passing patterns to pass to you or siblings as the song is playing! They could even create their own stick partner patterns like we have done in class! Being creative with rhythms and movement while singing will be a wonderful break for you and your child during this time!

FIRST GRADE MUSIC- VIRTUAL LEARNING LESSON SIX- FUN WITH JAZZ MUSIC:
GUESS WHAT?! Did you know that April is National JAZZ Month?
Last year during April, we read Freddie the Frog and the Flying Jazz Kitten!
In that story, we learned about SCAT singing and IMPROVISATION!
Scat singing is when singers sing syllables that are made up on the spot, and are NOT actual words!
They try to make their voices and sounds imitate jazz instruments!
Improvisation (or Improv.) is when instrument players or singers make up music as they go, it is not written out for them!
Check out this AWESOME book/video of the book THE JAZZ FLY!
Listen for the instruments you hear in the recording!
*What types of instruments do you think are popular in jazz music?
*Do you hear any SCAT singing in this video?
*After the book is done, click on the jazz playground for kids video/audio link below,
and MOVE to the jazz music!
*Find things around your house to create a jazz drum set to go along with the jazz playground music!
*Can YOU come up with some fun SCAT syllables?
(The book starts about one minute into the video, so skip forward if you'd like!)
THE JAZZ FLY
FIRST GRADE MUSIC- VIRTUAL LEARNING LESSON SEVEN & EIGHT- Celebrate Cinco de Mayo!
May 5th is Cinco de Mayo!
One of the most famous types of Mexican folk music is Mariachi! Take a listen!
Do you recognize any of these instruments? What do you enjoy most about this video?
Mrs. B loves all of this, but really enjoys when the men are singing all together creating HARMONY!
Learn to count to ten in Spanish!
This song also teaches you the words for fingers, clap, and jump!
Be sure to do the motions along with this song,
and see how many words you can sing along with!
Let's continue to celebrate by singing or listening to a children's folk song
and circle passing game from Mexico!
You can play this game at home with another family member or friend!
*First, listen to the song video. Some of you may be able to sing along in Spanish, and some of you may want to just listen and keep the beat in your lap, or with a homemade maraca!
*Next, once you've listened and watched, read the game instructions, and find some little items from around your house that you can pass to the beat!
(rocks, legos, spoons, etc, something that will "clack" on the floor)
Watch the second video clip to see the song and game in action.
Once you are ready to play the game, play the first video in the background to see if you can speed up the beat as you go!
The song gets faster, and faster!! Remember the term for that? ACCELERANDO!
Acitrón de un Fandango!
Acitrón de un fandango,
Zango, zango, sabaré,
Sabaré que va pasando*,
Con su triqui, triqui, tran.
Por la calle voy pasando,
Por la vía pasa el tren,
Acitrón de un fandango,
Zango, zango, sabaré.
Translated, the song is about :
A party full of lemon candy (Acitron) but there is a lot of pudding (Sobarare); A LOT and they don't want it, so they put the pudding on the clicky clacky train (triqui triqui tren) as it passes by. The passing of the objects in the game is the train, as we click clack the items on the floor!
Here's a general idea of the meaning:
Acitrón = Candied Lemon, Lemon Candy - Lemon rinds dried and made into candied lemon.
Fandango = Dance Fandango, a lively Spanish dance.
Zango = "SANGO" = yucca and maize pudding
Sabare' ="SOBRARE"= the left overs or spare
pasando = to pass
triqui/ Trique = Loud, sharp noise like a train clacking on the tracks
tran "tren" = Train
"Acitrón de un fandango"
A Candied Lemon Dance
"sango, sango, sobrare"
lot's of maize pudding left over
"Sobrare que va pasando"
lot's of it passes by
Con su triqui, triqui, tren"
on a noisy train
To sum it up: there's a party full of lemon candy and a lot of pudding. They'd rather just eat the candy, and the people pass the pudding by, so there's a lot left over and they put it on the noisy trains that pass by.
Game Instructions
Game Instructions
The children sit in a circle on the floor, each one has in front of him a stone, a wooden stick, or any kind of object that can make a noise when beaten on the floor. As they sing, they pass their objects to the child on their right. When they come to the line, "con su triqui, triqui, tran" they beat the object in front of their friend on the right, then beat it again in front of themselves, and only on the third pass do they drop it in front of the friend.

It’s a marshmallow world in the winter
When the snow comes to cover the ground
It’s a time for play, it’s a whipped cream day.
I wait for it all year ‘round.
Those are marshmallow clouds being friendly,
In the arms of the evergreen trees,
And the sun is red, like a pumpkin head,
It’s shining so your nose won’t freeze.
||: The world is your snowball, see how it grows,
That’s how it goes, whenever is snows,
The world is your snowball, just for a song,
Get out, and roll it along.
It’s a yum, yummy world, made for children,
Take a walk with your favorite boys and girls,
It’s a sugar day, what if spring stays away?

Over the river and through the woods
To grandmother’s house we go.
The horse knows the way, to carry the sleigh
Through the white and drifted snow.
Over the river and through the woods
Oh how the wind does blow!
It stings the toes ** and bites the nose**
as over the ground we go!
Over the river and through the woods
With a clear blue wintery sky.
The dogs do bark and the children hark
As we go jingling by,
Over the river and through the woods
To have a first rate play
Hear the bells ring, tingaling-ding
Hurray for Christmas Day!

Season of Peace:
A Little Snowflake (1st Grade)
A little snowflake fell out of the sky.
At first, it floated, then started to fly.
It should have melted the warmer it got.
But I can tell you that snowflake would not!
It was flying! It was flying! It was flying!
Didn’t have a care!
It was flying! It was flying!
It was flying, in the air!
The little snowflake decided to dance.
It didn’t know how, but it took a chance.
It skipped and jumped in a rhythmic display.
It danced a waltz and a snowflake ballet!
It was dancing! It was dancing!
It was dancing!
Didn’t have a care!
It was dancing! It was dancing!
It was dancing in the air!
The little snowflake decided to sing.
It sang of summer and autumn and spring.
It sang of winter and sounded so proud.
The little snowflake was singing out loud!
It was singing! It was singing! It was singing!
Didn’t have a care!
It was singing! It was singing!
It was singing in the air!
It was flying! It was dancing! It was singing!
Didn’t have a care!
It was flying! It was dancing!
It was singing in the….. Air!
Carol of the Elves (1st Grade)
You can hear the sound of hammers,
tap, tap, tapping night and day.
We’re the elves in Santa’s workshop making toys for Christmas Day.
Our voices strong, sing out a joyful song!
A song to make our work a snap,
tap-a- tap-a- tap.
Jingle, jingle, jingle all the way,
hey hey hey hey.
Oh what fun to ride in Santa’s sleigh. Hey!
Our voices strong, sing out a joyful song!
Jingle, jingle, jingle all the way. Hey!
Jingle, Jingle, tap-a, tap-a
Jingle, Jingle, tap-a, tap-a
Jing, Jingle, tap, tap-a
Jing, Jingle, tap, tap-a
Jing, jing, jing, tap, tap, tap.
Jing, jing, jing, tap, tap, tap.
Jingle bells, jingle bells,
jingle all the way, hey!
You can hear the sound of hammers,
tap, tap, tapping night and day.
We’re the elves in Santa’s workshop
making toys for Christmas Day.
Our voices strong, sing out a joyful song!
A song to make our work a snap,
tap-a- tap-a- tap.
And when the sleigh,
returns on Christmas Day,
we’ll cozy down and hit the hay,
Then once again we’ll tap-a- tap
and jingle all the way, hey!

At Christmas time, the angels sing.
A song filled with love as the bells do ring.
A song of peace and harmony,
A song of peace for you and me.
