IN OUR LESSON LAST WEEK
WE LEARNED ABOUT THE
WOODWIND INSTRUMENTS
(3 MINUTE VIDEO)

Soooo,
WHAT INSTRUMENT IS THIS?


(Here is where I demonstrate my flute,
and play My Favorite Things, and Do Re Me.)
Now let's listen to me play
ZIP A DEE DOO DAH
WHILE YOU SINGALONG

WHEN WE ARE HAVING A 
WONDERFUL DAY,
WE SHOULD BE FEELING
WHAT EMOTION?
WE SHOULD.....
OKAY,
ANOTHER WAY TO BE HAPPY 
IS TO HAVE HAPPY DREAMS
OF HOW WE CAN DREAM 
ABOUT THINGS THAT 
MAKE US HAPPY
AND MAKE OTHERS HAPPY




WEEK 2
LESSON 2

IN THE LAST LESSON
WE LEARNED ABOUT
HAVING A WONDERFUL DAY
WHILE WE SANG ALONG TO
ZIP A DEE DOO DAH
AND WHILE I PLAYED THE FLUTE
WHAT INSTRUMENT FAMILY
DOES THE FLUTE BELONG TO?

WE ALSO LEARNED TO  HAVE A
MILLION DREAMS OF
THINGS THAT MAKE US HAPPY
AND MAKE OTHERS HAPPY
GO AHEAD AND SING ALONG TO
A MILLION DREAMS,
WHILE MY DAUGHTER
SARAH LOUISE MOORE
SINGS AND PLAYS THE
UKULELE

THE SONG "A MILLION DREAMS"

CAME FROM THE MOVIE
"THE GREATES SHOWMAN"

TODAY WE ARE GOING TO BE
LEARNING MORE ABOUT THE
PERCUSSION FAMILY INSTRUMENTS
BUT FIRST, BEFORE WE DO...
WE ARE GOING TO
PRACTICE SOME BODY PERCUSSION
BY PLAYING SOME RHYTHM
WITH OUR BODIES
INSTEAD OF USING REAL
PERCUSSION INSTRUMENTS.
THE SONG WE WILL BE PRACTICING 
CAME FROM THE MOVIE
THE GREATEST SHOWMAN.
WHERE "A MILLION DREAMS" CAME FROM


TIME TO LEARN ABOUT THE...
PERCUSSION FAMILY
(8 MINUTE VIDEO)


JUST FOR FUN,
LET'S DO SOME MORE
BODY PERCUSSION
WE ARE NOW GOING TO PRACTICE
PLAYING THE PERCUSSION
TO THE SONG BY THE TROLLS,
I CAN'T STOP THAT FEELING

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


WHAT DO YOU THINK?
I threw in this next video to remind me to do a 
drum circle call and response in class, according to grade level.
