Hello everyone, We have completed our first full week of music in grades 4,5 and 6. Here is what we did: Grade 4 We continue to work on both playing the ukulele and learning about different instruments in class. Students learned about keyboard instruments and created a labeled poster about a choice of keyboard instrument. We reviewed the C major chord on the ukulele and also learned F major and started with the G major chord. Students discovered that these chords can be used in many songs and we started to sing and play 'The Lion Sleeps Tonight' by The Tokens. Grade 5 In a big moment, the grade 5s played their instruments together for the first time! This week we have just concentrated on music theory and creating a sound on ourinstruments, but also practiced making sounds in both 4 beat and 3 beat patterns, which students should practice at home. Next week we will start work from our musical excercise book and I will post the music here on the blog as necessary. Gr
