I wanted to start this week with some music listening. I'm sure you are all quite familiar with the song "Let It Go!" from Frozen, but I bet you've never heard it played like this before! It is played by a group of (mostly) teenagers on both orchestra and traditional Chinese instruments. Blew me away! Let's warm up our voices and brains by singing our Welcome Song "Hello There!" and "The Solfege Song." We are going to practice our Solfege skills with some Call & Response singing. As always, I will sing first and you will echo me. See if you can do the hand signs as you sing! Time to sing our Patriotic song, "America." How many of you have it memorized? We are going to quickly sing through some of our songs, and then we will revisit them in just a little while when we learn some recorder parts to play along. It's Recorder Time! Continue to play through the songs in your Beginning Recorder Book. You can find the YouTube playlist to practice with here. Make sure you spend some time working on our newest (and final!) song in the book, "Amazing Grace." This week I want to add some simple, fun recorder parts that you can play with some of the songs we have been singing. First up, is "Train is A-Comin." It uses the notes G and A, You can print out the sheet music here.
In this first video I will teach you the recorder part, and in the second video you can play it along with the song (and me.) The next song we are adding a recorder part to is "I've Been Working on the Railroad." This countermelody played on the recorder uses the notes B, A, G and has quarter and half notes. The recorder part is only played with the A section ("I've been working on the railroad") and you stop playing for the fast part ("Dinah won't you blow" .) You can print out the sheet music here.
We will do it the same way. In the first video I will teach you the recorder part, and then we will play it with the recording. And as promised, here is the recorder countermelody to our "Hot Cross Buns, Version 2." Here is the part for you to print.
Just for fun, let's close with a dance. Now let's finish up our time this week with some dancing! Let's see how well you remember the moves to "Can't Stop the Feeling!" I have a special new dance to teach you next week that goes with a song about dinosaurs!
