GREEN Spring Homework

 GREEN: SPRING
Please go over the music booklet once per day. For the S RING term the goal is to continue to build a repertoire of songs and positive musical experiences.If you ever have any questions please ask me during class, or email me.

LUDWIG VAN BEETHOVEN 
We will now start to listen to the music of BEETHOVEN. I would like the children to recognize the theme from the NINTH SYMPHONY, also known as 'SONG OF JOY'!

Please play music by Beethoven as the children colour their weekly handout.
For the SPRING TERM  we will be learning about the instruments of the BRASS & PERCUSSION FAMILY of instruments. 

THEORY: In the Green class the students will now learn to read and write music upon the staff in C major pentatonic. This will be a bit confusing at first. The main thing I want to get across is the relationship between the lines and spaces of the music staff. Going through this program will make reading and writing music easier in the future. 

RECORDER: We will continue to learn songs in the key of F major with the recorder! We will continue to add the pitch names in capital letters under the notes.

  SOLFEGE: The Musical Rainbow Program gets the children writing music as well. When writing music we start with using solfege names : do, re, mi, fa sol, la ti, doh'. The solfege indicates the function of the note within the scale. We write these in lower case letters on top of the notes on the staff. 

We will learn two names for a note. Above the music staff we will write the solfege names (s = sol, m = mi, etc) in lower case letters. Then on the Green recorder papers we will write the pitch names in upper case letters under the notes (F G A C D)
