This is the final assignment\/activity<\/strong> due before I submit report card marks and comments to your teachers. Treat it like you would a puzzle or a fun game!<\/p>\n

Create a song with a melody and lyrics<\/u><\/strong>: If you have already created a melody and rhythm, using SongMaker or another app\/program, just add some lyrics. If you’ve already created lyrics, add a melody using the SongMaker program (https:\/\/musiclab.chromeexperiments.com\/Song-Maker\/) <\/a>or another app. (Garage Band?) You can also use a poem that you know and like. Add a melody. (You CANNOT use a song that already exists!)<\/p>\n

Of course, if you’d like to create the song on an instrument that you play, like piano or recorder, that will be absolutely fine!<\/p>\n

Make sure that the melody and the syllables of the words for the song match. Song should have two different parts – (verse, chorus)<\/i> and be at least 8 measures long (i.e. 4 measures – verse, 4 measures – chorus)\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n

Send the lyrics on a word document and add the link for the melody. Or, even better, sing the song, perform it, record it with your voice record app on your phone (or on Tik Tok )and send me the link or the file. Make sure to put your name and Division # on the docs and links you send!\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Feel free to ask questions on Music Chat or send me an email. (click Contact<\/strong>\u00a0 on this website) or email me at Judith.Lea@burnabyschools.ca<\/p>\n

Due June 5th at the latest!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Previous assignments:<\/p>\n

Assignment #1 Due May 1st (You’ll need to hand this in, even if it’s late. It’s part of your curriculum and counts toward your report card.\u00a0 Zero is not acceptable. Plus, trust me, you will like this. I designed it to be enjoyable! \ud83d\ude42 )<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Go Outside: <\/span>LISTEN. Listen\u2026 listen\u2026 to all the different sounds you can hear. Listen for at least 5 minutes. The sound of your breath, the birds, the cars\u2026 <\/span><\/p>\n

Try identifying where the sounds are coming from. <\/span><\/p>\n

Write the sounds down when you get back inside (or bring a notebook and a pencil\/pen with you). Use a kind of code. (For instance: 3 note Bird Call, (3NBC) 5 note Bird Call (5NBC), Wind Chimes, Wind Chimes (WC, WC), Branches in the wind, (Wnd), etc.)\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

See if you can make\/recreate the sounds \u2013 with your mouth, your body or with materials at home.<\/span><\/p>\n

Then make a musical pattern of the sounds. (AABB, AABA, AABBCCA, ABABCABABC, etc.) You know what a pattern is! Remember that patterns repeat at some point. (Maybe try to make the patterns fit into a 4\/4 time signature).<\/span><\/p>\n

Please take a picture of your pattern, and send it to me, or write it\/type it out and send the document to me. <\/span><\/p>\n

Have fun!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Here’s\u00a0 2 examples of what I’m hoping to see. Click on them and you can see what other students have done (but don’t copy! Please do your OWN assignment!):<\/strong><\/p>\n

Have fun!<\/p>\n

Assignment #3<\/span>: For May 4th- 15th: <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

First:<\/strong> Take some time to find out about where your parents come from. And their<\/strong> parents ? And THEIR<\/strong> parents (your great grandparents)<\/em>? Ask someone to tell you a story of your family’s history and how they came to be living here, in Burnaby. (Remember, many\u00a0 First Nations people living here have parents and grandparents who are from HERE and their ancestors have lived here, for thousands of years!)\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Second:\u00a0 (you have two choices): <\/strong><\/p>\n

1.<\/strong>\u00a0Retell the story that your parents told you – in a song! or a poem<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

2. Find a song that your ancestors (your grandparents or your great-grandparents)<\/em> used to sing, or a dance they used to do, and\u00a0 learn to sing it or play it or learn to do the dance.<\/strong> Look it up on line if you need to. Maybe learn to play it on the recorder, if you have one at home, or on another instrument) or just sing it by yourself or sing along to a recording of it! (Maybe your parents can perform it with you!)<\/em><\/p>\n

Third: Find some way to share the song or dance<\/em><\/strong>,\u00a0 either an audio recording or a video recording or by writing it down – i.e. write down the words, or the steps, if it’s a dance. And send it to me (click contact above, or if you submit assignments on Teams, do it there)<\/em><\/p>\n

Always, if you need help or you’d like some support or some pointers, please contact me. Click the contact button above! (Don’t forget to check for the response! \ud83d\ude42 )<\/em><\/p>\n

Assignment #4:\u00a0<\/strong> please choose another activity from the Musical Weekly 5 Activities. <\/strong>Try something new.
