Each week I will post a YouTube link to a new listening selection. If you have permission, listen and send a picture of your response to me: catherine.raap@burnabyschools.caÂ
Find a quiet space.
Listen to the music actively. What does that mean? Active listening is when you listen to music carefully and give it your full attention. (Listen to the music more than once).
Collect the sound with your ears and brain. Think about what you are listening to. Allow the music to affect you and respond to it.
Response options:
- You can move or dance to the music,
- write a story, poem or journal entry,
- create art, or
- build a 3D sculpture with blocks/lego/or any other materials you have at home
Take a picture of your response and send it to me. Don’t forget to write your name, division and the name of the piece you are responding to.
Here are some questions you could consider:
- What do you hear?
- What do you see when you hear this music?
- What do you think about or feel when you hear this music?
Our second listening selection is Take Five by Dave Brubeck.
On Thursday night at 8pm on ABC, Disney has a one-hour Family Singalong. It’s a little late for my daughters, but I will be sure to PVR it so they can enjoy it on another day. (Parents you may want to preview, as it is rated PG.) FYI..if you have Shaw Cable, it is channel 200.
For additional music activities, explore your grade level tab and the online resources/links.
