Ms. Cissoko's Music Class
The Show Must Go On!
During our School layoff from the Coronavirus, I am committed to helping my students continue their learning and participation in music!
Most of my instructional materials will be posted on the Buffalo Public School District "Schoology" site.
More info to come!
Grades PK, K & 1
Be on the lookout for Jazzy ABCs.
Can you think of musical instruments that start with the letters of the alphabet?
Example: A = Accordion.
Check Schoology for a video and related activities.
GRADES 2 & 3
Make your own instrument.
It's easy to make drum sticks and maracas from simple materials you probably have at home!
Example: Drum Sticks = Two Pencils

Grade 4
Jazz is America's unique musical heritage!
The Hip Hop and Pop music artists of today stand on the shoulders of countless amazing Jazz artists going back to the days of our great-grandparents!
Example: Louis Armstrong was one of the first musicians to record improvised scat vocals. He paved the way for beat-boxers to chant their own rhythms.
