Hey Hey Look at Me! - Kindergarten

 

Kindergarten has been working with an action song called 'Hey! Hey! Look at Me!'

There are many Music curriculum connections with this song:

• moving to the beat
• listening and moving our bodies to show the high and low sounds
• music can be fast or slow
• music can be loud or quiet
• using our singing voice and speaking voice

Grade 1/2 John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt - a lesson on Musical Dynamics

 

John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt

Grade 1 and 2 have been using the song 'John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt' as a way to listen for and respond to changes in dynamics (volume) in Music.  We started by singing the song loud (forte)_and gradually got quieter as we sang each verse.  Students indicated the correct dynamics of each verse of the song.  Their favourite part was when they got to sing very loud (fortissimo) when they got to the 'tra la la la la la la' part!

Our Dynamics display in the classroom:

September Circle Dance

 September Circle Dance

Grade 3/4 and 5/6 recently learned a Circle Dance to "September" by Earth Wind and Fire.

It was a wonderful way for us to help build community at the beginning of the year.  We also used this as an opportunity to work on:

• Rhythm

• Musical form

• Expression

• Movement

 The students enjoyed singing along to the song as well.
