6/8-6/12 Musical activities

Sing: 
Throughout history, music has been the glue to bind communities together when they are unraveling. Each year at Pierce, we sing to celebrate the life of Martin Luther King Jr. to remind us of our constant fight for civil rights in this country. What we sing, unites us and makes us stronger. I have shared these songs and more in a playlist below. I encourage you to bring these songs into your homes. Listen and SING as a family and lift each other up
​

LEARN: About the Percussion Family! 
This week we will finish up our unit on the Orchestra by learning about the Percussion family! Percussion instruments are played by hitting, shaking or being scraped.

Percussion plays a huge role in the music that John Williams composed. Whether you’re listening to Harry Potter, Star Wars, Indiana Jones, or any of his other powerful movie scores, the percussion family always has a big job. Watch for percussion instruments like the timpani, snare drum and bass drum in this performance by the Boston Symphony Orchestra conducted by John Williams at Tanglewood Music Festival!

Read: Melba and her Trombone
(From Google Books Intro)
Melba Doretta Liston loved the sounds of music from as far back as she could remember. As a child, she daydreamed about beats and lyrics, and hummed along with the music from her family's Majestic radio. At age seven, Melba fell in love with a big, shiny trombone, and soon taught herself to play the instrument. By the time she was a teenager, Melba's extraordinary gift for music led her to the world of jazz. She joined a band led by trumpet player Gerald Wilson and toured the country. Overcoming obstacles of race and gender, Melba went on to become a famed trombone player and arranger, spinning rhythms, harmonies, and melodies into gorgeous songs for all the jazz greats of the twentieth century: Randy Weston, Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Billie Holiday, and Quincy Jones, to name just a few!
