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!

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.
