2.) Sing: Hopefully you’ve been singing “Singin’ in the Rain” all around your house. Keep working on learning both parts so we can turn it into a partner song. Here is a new round for spring for you to learn as well. It’s called April and it’s all about mud. Listen to the video until you know both parts well and sing them as you go around the house as well! The shower is a spectacular place to sing. Everyone sounds amazing in the shower! :)
This week you'll be singing with Ms. Sheridan!

3.) LISTEN & LEARN:
April in Japan is a very special time and is celebrated with a festival called Hanami. Hanami, 花見, or in English "flower viewing", is a long-standing Japanese tradition of welcoming spring. Also known as the “cherry blossom festival,” this annual celebration is about appreciating the ever changing beauty in nature. People gather under blooming cherry blossoms for food, music, and friendship as they celebrate the passing beauty. Watch this performance of the song Sakura by Kasumi Watanabe. She is performing on a traditional Japanese instrument called the Koto. The koto is a cousin to the Guzheng from China which we learned about in music class when we were celebrating Lunar New Year. They are both string instruments in the Zither family.

4.) PLAY:
Blossoms of the Cherry Blossom is a new recorder song for you to practice. It is a duet, so there are two different parts that happen at the same time. You can choose which part you’d like to play. I labeled them in 2 different colors to help you follow your part. Print this page and add it to your binder. If you can’t print, just use this file on your computer to practice. There are two recordings of the song here to help you learn it at home. The first version lets you hear how both parts of the duet fit together. The second version has no recorder so you can play by yourself. Once you have your part down, record yourself and email it to me! jina_han@psbma.org |

5.) MOVE: This song activity gives you a chance to work on your coordination and musical timing while having fun! The “Deteggtive” will lead you through the song showing you which beat is happening in the music. The picture here tells you what each egg means.
- When you see a blue egg, HOP!
- When you see a yellow egg, CLAP!
- When you see a red egg STOMP!
