2017 Term 4 Week 4

How many symbols can you identify?  You will need to rotate some of them to see them the right way up. 

The  symbol used for the eyes in the picture above is called alla breve  and is a time signature meaning 2 minim beats per bar (2/2 timing). It's not very common in music at our  stage. 

Dances: 

Juniors:

- Movement song "I love you more" by Claudia Robin Gunn 

- The Freeze Game 

- Get Ready to Wiggle 

- Ma na ma nah     (Plus the Muppets song version) 

- Speedy Gonzales 

- Macarena 

Seniors and Intermediates - Requests. 

                                        

Theory and note values:   Add bar lines  in 4/4 timing, then clap the rhythm pattern. Watch out for some semiquavers in the extension activity. 

Junior rhythm patterns: 

Revise this pattern from last week: 

Now try this  pattern, adding a one beat rest. 

Songs: 

Juniors: Here we go round the Mulberry Bush 

BINGO

Notation 

Can you name these notes? 

Seniors

Ode to Treble Clef  (Click here for link to video) 

Oh treble clef, we love you treble clef.
We just can’t get enough of our little treble clef!
You are our fav’rite musical symbol, its plain to see!

You sit there on the music staff curled ‘round the letter G.
That’s the second line of the music staff,
the G right above middle C.

You sit there on the music staff curled ‘round the letter G.
That’s the second line of the music staff,

Whoa oh, oh, oh treble clef, we need you treble clef.
You help us treble clef to read the notes on the staff
the G right above middle C.

Whoa, oh oh oh, treble clef, without you it’d be so rough
Your shape is cool, its wonderful,
its an old fashioned G

When you’re there in your cozy spot,
the notes are plain to see.
Oh, the lines are E, G, B, D and F.
The spaces are F, A, C, E.

Whoa, oh oh oh treble clef, we need to know this stuff.
Please help us, treble clef.  We need you, oh treble clef.

Whoa oh oh oh treble clef,
you beautiful treble clef,
You are our fav’rite musical symbol.
We love you so.

We love you so.
