History of Jazz - Listening and Playing Orff Instruments Grade 5/6

 
History of Jazz - Listening and Playing Orff Instruments Grade 5/6

The Grade 5/6 students have been learning about the History of Jazz. So far, we have covered the Roots of Jazz, Ragtime, Louis Armstrong and have begun to explore the Blues.

We have been learning to play " When the Saints" on barred instruments.  The students worked with a partner and figured out how to play the song using the music score.

First they practiced with their fingertips, and when they were ready they moved to the mallets.

In this lesson we:

-demonstrated skills on barred instruments

-read instrumental scores for melody instruments

-listened to and recognized music of other time and places

ABC Blues

 ABC Blues - Kindergarten

Kindergarten has been learning the ABC Blues.  This is an echo song.  We are practicing singing, echo-singing, and creating movement while we practice the alphabet and sing the Blues!

In the image above you can see that the first 2 verses are sung as an echo.  In verse 3 students sing on their own.

If you wish to sing along to the music, please see previous post for how to access the song on Musicplayonline.
