LESSONS FOR WEEK 1

OKAY,

LET'S REVIEW SOME OF THE 

ORCHESTRA SOUNDS AGAIN

FROM THE 4 INSTRUMENT FAMILIES

(2:43 MINUTE VIDEO)

TIME TO REVIEW 

MORE INSTRUMENTS:

THINK ABOUT WHAT INSTRUMENT

YOU LIKE OR WOULD LIKE 

TO KNOW MORE ABOUT

(10 MINUTE VIDEO)

NOW IT IS TIME TO HAVE FUN

REVIEWING MORE ABOUT THE

PERCUSSION INSTRUMENTS.

ALOT OF PEOPLE,

WHEN THEY HEAR PERCUSSION,

THINK OF THE DRUMS

Just for fun, let us now watch

a video of a DRUM competition

with girls against the boys

playing snare DRUMs and bass(base) DRUMs.

(I normally do not show the whole video of the competition in class, due to time. However, I do like to skim through the video, as I watch the reactions of the students. If they really want to see it all, they will let you know.)

For those of you who do not have a snare DRUM

we can use buckets for a DRUM.

The next video is of some young men playing on some

bucket DRUMS. 

Yes, a bucket DRUM is just using a

bucket like a DRUM.

In order to be able to play the drums, 

we need to practice.

Let us now practice on our laps, 
if a bucket is not available,

To the "We Will Rock You" song

Now let us see if you can practice the rhythm

of hitting the beat on a DRUM, bucket, or lap.

But, before we practice the rhythm,

can you tell me what RHYTHM means?

RHYTHM means:

a strong repeated pattern of sound

or movement.

Just like the sound of playing drums.

Okay, now let us practice RHYTHM

playing some different kinds of RHYTHM.

You can pause the video, after each rhythm is introduced,
 and practice it slow,

Now, let us have fun learning how to play the snare drum.

Below is a video on
how to play the snare DRUM

FROM THE MOVIE

FANTASIA 

AND LISTEN TO THE INSTRUMENTS

BEING PLAYED IN THE MOVIE

(9:41 MINUTE VIDEO)

IMAGINE WATCHING THIS 

WITHOUT MUSIC.

ANOTHER WAY OF IMAGINING,

IS WHEN WE DREAM 

ABOUT THINGS THAT WE

WOULD LIKE TO DO OR HAVE.

WHY, WE COULD EVEN HAVE...

A MILLION DREAMS

IF TIME ALLOWS,

WE CAN SING 

A MILLION DREAMS

SARAH LOUISE MOORE

NICE JOB,

QUARTER NOTE

EIGHTH NOTE

WHAT DO YOU DO,

WHEN YOU SEE A QUARTER REST?

NOW WHEN YOU SEE THE

QUARTER NOTE

HOW MANY TIMES DO YOU CLAP,

WHEN YOU SEE THE QUARTER NOTE?

WHEN WE SPLIT THE

QUARTER NOTE IN HALF

WE GET TWO EIGTH NOTES

HOW MANY EIGHTH NOTES 

ARE THERE IN A 

QUARTER NOTE?

 

OKAY, LET'S GO BACK TO THE...

PERCUSSIONS

AND CLAP ALONG

WITH A VALENTINE SONG

TIME FOR ANOTHER 

BODY PERCUSSION SONG

THIS SONG CAN BE RELATED TO 

VALENTINE'S DAY

THIS SONG IS SAYING THAT 

YOU WOULD DO ANYTHING

(LIKE WALK 500 MILES)

FOR THE PERSON YOU LOVED

WOW!

YOU SURE MUST LOVE

THAT PERSON

IF YOU ARE WILLING TO WALK

500 MILES

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

(3:40 MINUTE VIDEO)

Let us now practice on our laps, 
if a bucket is not available,

To the "We Will Rock You" song

Now let us see if you can practice the rhythm

of hitting the beat on a DRUM, bucket, or lap.

But, before we practice the rhythm,

can you tell me what RHYTHM means?

RHYTHM means:

a strong repeated pattern of sound

Okay, now let us practice RHYTHM

playing some different kinds of RHYTHM.
