Week of 10/6

Hi 5th graders!

This week will be the final week we really focus on syncopation.  By now you should have a good understanding of individual 8th notes and how they work when they are placed "off" the beat. 

Your reward is that you get to play a bunch of pop songs with individual 8th notes and emphasizing the off beats, which is called, as you know, syncopation. 

Can you (a) clap these rhythms, (b) speak these rhythms, (c) play these rhythms, (d) sing along while you perform them? :). See below if you lost your sheet.  

ALSO: this week's practice schedule gives you a little more responsibility! Take some time to think about what you need to practice, as you are filling it out. How many days can you get?  See below if you lost it!
