Vocal warmup- The Ice Cream Sundae-Today I read a poem by John Feierabend about a yummy ice cream sundae. After each stanza the children said: mmmm. This activity warmed up the children's voices.
Echo Song- No More Pie!
New song: Johnny on the Haypile
Simple song- Frog in the Meadow-Today the children sang Frog in the Meadow together and then each took a turn singing solo if they wanted too! Every student wanted to take a solo today!
Arioso-Today we sang musical conversations without words. We expressed different emotions through our singing such as: happy, sad, angry, surprised, etc.
Pitch Activity-See April 22nd.

Fly away Jack (Left hand behind back)
Fly away Jill (Right hand behind back)

Come back Jill (Bring right hand out)
At the Piano-The Woodpecker by Marilyn Lowe. To help your child play this at home on piano or keyboard:
First have them raise there arms in the air and drop them loosely, letting them swing. Ask "Can you feel the weight of your arms? Are they a bit heavy?"
Sit at the piano. Have them make two loose fists. Gently bounce right fist 4 times in the air. Without pause, gently bounce left fist 4 times in the air, repeat. Using the worksheet I sent home as a guide, find the groups of 3 black keys. Gently knock right fists 4 times on the black keys, gently knock left fists 4 times on the black keys, repeat. Hope this makes sense. :) If you have any questions parents feel free to call or email me!
Dance- Today we performed the a movement activity to "Walz in A flat by Johannes Brahms". See April 29th.
Song Tale- "Little Bird" as sung by Elizabeth Mitchell . Today I played the Ukulele and sang the song with the children. It was so much fun!
