Activity 3 from Ms. Hesketh

Don’t worry be happy!
Here is a great video to get you in a music-loving mood!

Audio hello and lesson introduction:

 

Introduction (also on audio above)

On last week’s blog, I mentioned that the long sounds I was speaking are equal to what we call “ta”, and the short sounds are equal to what we call “ti”. For now the “ti’s” usually come in a pair so you will hear “ti ti” a lot. Some of you may already know all this right?

Active listening

I would like you to listen to the recording of Green Cheese from last week once again with a new worksheet that you can print here.

 

 

Green cheese audio:

 

On the worksheet, write down “L” and “S” again for the long and short syllables, but this time, please add the word “ta” or “ti ti” underneath your “L” or “S”.

Green Cheese_ta:titi worksheet

Practice/ Check your work

Can you practice speaking the poem in rhythm while keeping the beat but this time only saying the “ta’s” and “ti ti’s” and not the words?

Here is a recording of me speaking the rhythm of the poem using only “ta’s” and “ti ti’s” here:

 

Can you practice it with me here with the help of your score? Did you get it? Keep practicing until you can match the recording!

 

Share

Record yourself “speaking” the Green cheese poem saying your “ta’s” and “ti ti’s” in rhythm instead of the words like the recording. Send it to your music teacher by email with your full name and division in the title!

Happy practicing!

 

Activity 2

Did you find the first activity on the Week One Page?

Big hello to all of you and your beautiful smiling grade 1 faces! Here is a little recording that I (Ms. Hesketh) made just to say hi!

 

I know our routines are very different right now but there are some things that stay the same. The cherry trees still blossom in the spring, the birds still sing, the rain still falls and the wind still blows. I take comfort that these things are still happening in nature, do you?

1. For our first lesson, we are going to continue from where we left off, figuring out and playing the rhythms in poems. This time though, we are going to listen very carefully to the recording and learn how to name the long and short sounds in the rhythm of the words. After a little practice, you are going to write your very own piece with body percussion to the rhythm of the words. We’ll get to that later though;)

 

Active listening: First, listen once to the audio recording of me speaking the poem “Green cheese yellow laces”

 

Practice:

Now, try to clap the beat along with me while speaking the rhythm along with the recording, if you aren’t sure, here is a version with the beat:

 

Now follow along with the poem while speaking the words with me in rhythm, (you might have to try this a few times)

Here are the words:

Green cheese, yellow laces,

Up and down the market places,

Turn, cheeses, turn.

 

Practice:

A) Divide the words into syllables. Can you hear which sounds are long and which are short? Do you need to listen to it again?

B) Write an “L” for “long” or an “S” for “short” on the space under each syllable of the poem.

*Here is a worksheet you can print out and fill Green Cheese PDF

 

Share:

Take a picture of your work and send it to your music teacher by email with your full name and division in the title!

**You might already know this, but the long sounds you hear we will call “Ta”, and the short sounds we hear we will call “Ti”. More on that in our next lesson!

Happy listening and practicing!
