Let's make music with the BEST instrument EVER. Our Voices;)
For the next 10 weeks, we're going to explore singing in the "Round". You don't need special instruments or know how to read music. Just gather round and use your voices to make music. Besides sounding AWESOME, singing makes us feel better. We can destress and connect with others. Even those who can't be near us can sing to us from across the street, through their windows, or on their porches. Challenge yourselves, your family and even your neighbors to join the voices with simple, fun songs that become unexpectedly complex when we sing them in a "Round".

Clap the RhythmLet's learn the rhythm! Clap along with the RHYTHM video below, reading Ta's and Ti-Ti's. You will notice that some patterns are repeated, Measures 1 and 2 are the same as measures 3 and 4. Where else do you see rhythms that are repeated? | Solfege (great for 3rd, 4th and 5th graders)Let's sing the melody using the scale degrees. Each note has it's own "name" or Scale Degree. The pitch C will always be called "DO", the pitch D will always be called "RE" and so on. Sing along with the SOLFEGE video below using the scale degrees. | Sing in the round!We practice in stages. Sing along with the videos below, one part at a time. You can practice in unison, in 2 parts or 3 parts. The number at the beginning of each line cues the next group to start. But remember, when it's your groups turn to sing, you always start at the beginning of the song. |
