Last week we celebrated Talk Like a Pirate day in music class. We sang the song "Talk Like A Pirate day" and a Quaver song called "Stinky Pirates". It was a fun week.
We also started our music alphabet. We did A is for autoharp. We got to see an autoharp and we sang a song while I accompanied them on the instrument.
1st grade had a blast learning the song gilly gilly gilly good morning and Miss Mary Mack. We played a partner game with Miss Mary Mack.
Kindergarten and 1st grade played a partner game with the song Bow Wow Wow.
PK did a Quaver lesson and we learned that "if we listen we can learn". Our musical story of the week was called "Tortoise and the Hare: The Rematch". Hare lost the race b/c he did not listen to his family members when they told him to look at the map and he got lost.
This week we had some apple fun! We sang the songs "Do You Know the Apple Man?(Johnny Appleseed), Apples and Bananas(using our vowel sounds), and Apple Tree(passing game). We also did a speech piece called 5 Rosy Apples and used mallets to play on the bells on the word of the day "apple".
We learned a new instrument of the day with the letter B for Banjo. We learned that the autoharp and banjo are both string instruments. We got to see a short video of Kermit the Frog playing the banjo with Steve Martin.
Overall it's been a great couple weeks in the music room!
