6/8-6/12 Music Activities

READ: "You Matter" by Christian Robinson


Christian Robinson is an author and illustrator. I follow him on Instagram and find his series called “Making Space” @theartoffun really engaging, moving and important. I highly recommend it! He released a new book a few days ago and it’s message it one that I want all of my students to hear. YOU MATTER!

Sing:

From our weekly Newsletter:

​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. 




Young person's guide to the orchestra

​We'll be reviewing some of our musical instruments by listening to the "Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra". This week we will study 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.

LISTEN: 

Theme (starts at 0:32)

First listen to the THEME of our piece played by the percussion instruments. The theme in a piece of music means the 'big idea",  just like it does in a book! Britten announces the theme in the very beginning of the piece with everyone playing. Then, each family gets a turn to play the theme alone.

Percussion variation

Next, listen to the BRASS VARIATION. This means that you will hear the "big  idea", but it will be a little different.​ Fill out  the listening map below as well! 

Here's a Google Link as well:

Listening Map

Listen carefully to the percussion variations and fill out this listening map! 

Please take a picture or a screen shot of your work and send it to Ms. Han at jina_han@psbma.org

PLAY: Leaping Lemurs
Here's a new song for you! We are only learning the first two lines. Remember those dots on the bottom of the notes means that they are staccatos: notes played very short! Also, the most difficult thing about this song are the rests. It's going to be a challenge but we'll take it little at a time. 
Good luck!! 
Recording with the recorder

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!
