Mini-Lesson grade 4 April 1/20

Hello Grade 4's!  

Today we will be practicing lines and spaces on the staff, plus rhythms.  Many of you already know this, but in case you need some reminding, please watch the mini-lessons.

Mini-Lesson about the music STAFF

Rhythms

Watch this fun video to help you practice lines and spaces on the staff: Pay attention to the evolution of the Treble Clef, as shown on the video: 

I Knew You Were Treble

Also, I would like you to be practicing your music terms:

Dynamics and Tempo.  

What words are associated with those terms?  

 Dynamics: how loud or quiet the music is.  

Musicians use Italian terms: 

fortissimo, forte, mezzo-forte, mezzo-piano, piano, and pianissimo 

 Tempo: how fast or slow the music is: 

Musicians use Italian terms: 

vivace, allegro, andante, lento

What do they mean?  ff-very loud; f-loud; mf-medium loud; mp-medium quiet; p-quiet; pp-very quiet

vivace (pronounced vee-vah-chay)-very fast; allegro-fast; andante-medium; lento-slow

How do tempo and dynamics affect the expressive impact of music? What if a lullaby was sung ff? how would that change the impact of that song?  Please listen to a selection of music, your choice, try to use two different genres, and analyze what role tempo and dynamics play to increase or decrease the expressive quality and emotional impact.

To assist in practicing terms and the lines and spaces on the staff, please visit the following website:

Grade 2 | April 1

Hello Everyone!

Today's music lesson is about DYNAMICS.  Musicians use Italian words to describe how loud or how quiet the music is.  We are learning four words: forte (f), mezzo-forte (mf), mezzo-piano (mp), piano (p)

We are also learning a Canadian folk-song, called I's the B'y, which is Newfoundland speak for, I'm the boy. Listen for different dynamics on the verses, sing it using your own dynamics.  At the end, we will step the beat and clap ti'ti's, we are listening for how many ti'ti's we clap on one beat.  Are we clapping 2 ti'ti's or are we clapping 3 ti'ti's ?   Please click on the link to listen to the lesson.

Grade 2 lesson for April 1, 2020

I's the B'y

Folk Song

I's the b'y that builds the boat

And I's the b'y that sails her,

I's the b'y that catches the fish,

And brings them home to Liza.

Chorus

Hip yer partner*, Sally Tibbo,

Hip yer partner, Sally Brown,

Fogo, Twillingate, Morton's Harbour,**

All around the circle!

Sods and rinds to cover your flake,***

Cake**** and tea for supper,

Codfish in the spring o' the year

Fried in maggoty butter.

Chorus

I don't want your maggoty fish,

That's no good for winter,

I could buy as good as that,

Down in Bonavista.

Chorus

I took Liza to a dance,

By faith and she could travel,

And every step that she did take

Was up to her knees in gravel.

Chorus

Susan White, she's out of sight,

Her petticoat wants a border,

Old Sam Oliver in the dark,

He kissed her in the corner.

Chorus

I's the b'y that builds the boat

And I's the b'y that sails her,

I's the b'y that catches the fish,

And brings them home to Liza.

 a "flake is a platform covered with pieces of bark (rinds) on which the filleted cod are spread to dry out"

Hi Grade 1's!

I created a couple of music activities for you to do for the next couple of days.  Please click on the links below to access.

The first activity is reading rhythms.  Once you have practiced reading the rhythms, you can build your own 4-beat rhythm pattern using stuff you find at home!

Rhythm practice

The second activity is practicing TEMPO words and I am singing a little song to go along with the tempo words.  Once you've practiced the words, you could create your own activity where you get to use the tempo words.

Tempo Song
