When reading  rhythms, we use the ​​Kodály Method.  This means that we "speak" rhythms while reading them using different sound syllables.

This week we talked about FORTE (loud) and piano (quiet).  
We read this book and practiced playing our drums quietly and loudly:
We played along with this video to reinforce our new music vocabulary:

We also used a website called ​Bouncy Balls to see the impact of different dynamics while playing our instruments.  You can make balls, emojis, or even eyeballs bounce using your voice or different instruments.
Enable your microphone and try it out at home!

BEAT

9/7/2018

The first week of school, we focused on one of the fundamental elements of music: BEAT. 

We recited the following chant as our definition:
The beat, the beat, the beat is so sweet.
It lets you know to go fast or slow.
It stays the same, it doesn't change.


We played drums along with Gloria Estefan's "Turn the Beat Around."

​We also played our names on the drums along with groove tracks that we created on a website called 
Groove Pizza.  Feel free to check it out and create your own!
