May 4 – 8

Burnaby Music Teachers have put together 2 videos for you. Can you see my  message to all of you?

 

 

May 4this Music Monday. This year due to the COVID pandemic, it is the first Music Monday @ Home! From 6am-6pm, the broadcast will include live streams found on the Music Monday website:  www.musicmonday.ca/livestream  and Coalition Canada’s YouTube channel.

 

 

Please note the times noted from Coalition Canada are eastern time zones. Here in BC, there is a 3 hour difference.

Here is the schedule listed in PST time (our time zone)!
6 am Spotlight Celebration
7 am Atlantic/Eastern Canada (featuring musicians from Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and PEI)
8:30 am Quebec (featuring musicians from Quebec; content presented in French)
9:30 am HYMN TO FREEDOM: Music Monday Anthem Singing
9:35 am Spotlight Celebration (repeat from 6am)
10:30 am Ontario (featuring musicians from Ontario)
11:30 am Prairies (featuring musicians from Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta)
1:30 pm Youth 4 Music
2:30 pm Territories (featuring musicians from Nunavut, the NW Territories and the Yukon Territory)
3:30 pm British Columbia (featuring musicians from BC)
4:30 Spotlight Celebration (repeat from 6am and 9:35 am)
5:30 After Party

Pop in and out as often as you can, but be sure to join in for the coast-to-coast-to-coast singing of Hymn to Freedom at 9:30am. This is something the whole family can do together.

Another fun activity is Music Monday Bingo. Click on the Music Monday Bingo Sheet for your card. The BINGO cards are designed to be played during the Spotlight Celebration hours (repeated three times: 6am, 9:35 am and 4:30 pm). Cross off what or who you see.

Head over to the your grade level tab as well. I haven’t posted anything new this week. You can practice “Hymn to Freedom” in preparation for Monday. For intermediates, I see a lot of you need an extension for the Oscar Peterson/Hymn to Freedom assignment. Please get it in by the end of this week (May 8th).

Each week I will post a link to a new listening selection. If you have permission, listen and send a picture of your response to me: catherine.raap@burnabyschools.ca . I started an online gallery of artwork I have received from your listening responses. If you would NOT like to have yours added, please let me know when you email me. For privacy reasons, I will edit out names and divisions.

Okay, here are the instructions:

Find a quiet space and listen to the music actively. 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?

May 4this also Star Wars Day (May the 4thbe with you.) For this week, our listening selection is a Star Wars Medley sung a cappella by Jimmy Fallon, The Roots and the cast of Star Wars: A Force Awakens.  A medley is a group of different tunes or songs that are played one after another as a single piece of music. How many different tunes can you pick out from this week’s listening? A cappella music is music where people sing without instruments. Can you think of a time when we sang a cappella at school? Head to the resource/links tab to see other Star War music videos.

 

 

Also, don’t forget to sing O Canada at 12 noon on Sunday to thank frontline workers.  See the April 20-24 post for more information.
