To understand this Music Joke,
you should know that the
skin on a snake
is covered in scales.
The scales help the snake move,
to keep moisture within, and
helps to camouflage the snake
to be able to help capture it's prey.
This is a picture of an Idaho Rattlesnake.
(I chose this snake because I live and teach music in Idaho.)
Can you see the scales on the snake?
You don't go near rattlesnakes.
If you see or hear a rattlesnake,
get away and go let an adult know what you found.
Not all snakes are poisonous, but it's better to be safe than sorry.
Idaho has lot's of blow snakes (also known as a gopher or bull snakes),
those snakes are not poisonous like the rattlesnake.
The blow snake (gopher/bull snake) are actually good snakes
to have out in the country for keeping the population of rodents down.
Rodents like the gopher that would dig lots of holes in our yards and gardens.
I live out in the country, and we have to set up traps to catch gophers
who are trying to dig holes around or in our garden and yard.
Honestly, when I see a snake, I don't want to stick around
to see if it has a rattle or not. (Just saying)
Now, the scales in music
are what we have been learning:
like the C Major scale shown below.
When we look at the C scale above,
How many notes are there in a scale?
Remember to not count the repeated note.
Now let us take this C major scale and
sing and use the following hand signs,
by using the Kodaly method.
The amount of notes in a music scale,
are how many letters there are
in the music alphabet.
How many letters are there,
in the music alphabet?
Now just for fun,
can you tell me:
How many notes are in an OCTAVE?
SO
I don't care what you say,
That is what I call a Funny Musical Joke.
So, you better be laughing.
Or you can at least smile.
I bet you that I got you to...
