SECOND GRADE MUSIC- VIRTUAL LESSON NINE- Exploring Pioneer songs, continued!
EARLY AMERICAN RAILROAD SONGS!
As the pioneers moved west, many people were employed to help build and lay the tracks for the new railroad system. Keeping the tracks moving westward, helped to transport goods for the Westward Expansion. You've likely heard this song before, and now can understand why it was sung! Remember, many folk songs were often sung not only to entertain, but often to make the days or work pass by easier and more quickly!
* The next time you are cleaning your room or helping your family with chores, put some music on, it makes the job easier and more fun to do!
WATCH FOR:
Where is the Time Signature, what is it?
What is the Form? (HINT: verse/refrain!)

Can you spot examples of the following types of notes in the music?
Quarter note

Triplet
SECOND GRADE MUSIC- VIRTUAL LESSON TEN & ELEVEN- Celebrating 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!
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!
