Week of April 13 - K and 1st Grade

Hello, Kindergarten and 1st grade families! I hope you are are staying safe and healthy. I miss you tons!

Below are a few activities that should sound familiar from music class. We worked on them before we had to stay home. Click on the links to see, hear, and sing along.

Hello Song

• Sing along with your singing voice. Remember, your singing voice might feel a little bit higher than your speaking/talking voice.

Clap Your Hands

• Sing and along and keep a steady beat by clapping, stomping, etc. 

Gary the Gator and Sammy the Shark

• Echo the rhythm patterns with your speaking voice.
• Next echo the patterns just in your head. Use your "brain mouth." 😀

Quiet Listening

• Click on the link above to hear a calm piece of piano music. You can sit or even lay down and listen with your eyes closed. 

Move and Freeze

• Click on the link above for music to do some safe "free dance" at your home. In class, we would usually use a scarf or a streamer, so feel free to use one of those if you like. Caregivers, you can pause the music at random points and start it again for our move and freeze activity. 

I hope that you're all feeling well! I'll do my best to update the blog a couple times per week, so please take a look. It won't be just lessons, but I'll try to post some "feel good" music posts as well. I'd love to see an email, picture, or comment here on the blog of you being musical at home. Feel free to post!

Mr. S
