Hello 4th graders!  

This week we are continuing to work on half steps (see last week's post for explanation if you don't remember!).  Here's what we're doing in lessons:



This week, you'll be reviewing #139 and working on #141 and #142.  If time in class, you will listen to the theme of #142 and see if you can identify it!  What is changed in the variation, the melody or the rhythm?  Can you think of any other variations on a familiar tune you have already learned?


If time, we will also watch part of the video below, which is the melody of #141.  Notice how the theme is first sung in unison, then in a 2-part round, then in a 3-part round!  If we don't get to watch this video together, we'll watch some of it next week.
