This week 2nd, 3rd, 5th, and to my surprise a couple of the 1st grade classes attended the Metales M5 Mexican Brass Quintet concert. Students from my 4th and 5th grade band and myself had the opportunity to sit front row center at the CPA as well as meet the quintet afterwards.
As for the rest of the week: 2nd, 3rd and 5th grades had to do a writing response to M5 Brass Quintet. Here are the questions:
Name 3 things you learned at the concert.
What was your favorite thing?
What was your least favorite thing?
We also continued with our respective instruments: 3rd grade-Recorder Skills,4th Grade-Piano Skills,5th Grade-Guitar/Uke Skills.
We also did a Halloween song called Mwa Ha, Ha. It was a song from last year that everyone wanted to do again.
K-2nd classes did an activity called Play Your Sound. Here is a description and the process:
Play your Sound-
Objective: Identifying music notes by sight and sound and playing the music notes on rhythm instruments.
1. Divide class into five sections and have them sit in a circle. Each section will be playing a different music note on a different instrument indidated in the music.
2. Place picture of each note on floor and board in front of each section in the circle.
3. Student will sing the song and play their instrument when they hear the teacher sing their note.
4. After all the notes have been played studnets move to the right in the circle to the next note and repeat the song. The song continues to repeat until all students have rotated throught each of the music notes on the different instruments
