Tempo

This week our Word of the Week is Tempo!  Tempo is the SPEED of the beat.  We are watching these videos to help us learn about Tempo!





We are also playing a passing game called Pass This Shoe.  We pass the beanie babies (not shoes. . . ) to the beat.  Then, the tempo changes and we pass at a different tempo.

(That is my super fabulous intern Emily Walters leading the activity.)



And, then we do the Chicken Dance.  It also has changing tempos!

It was a SUPER fun week in Music Class studying TEMPO!!!

Do Re Mi!

This week our Word of the Week is Major Scale!  We will be learning about the notes of the Major Scale by watching the video below:

Do Re Mi from The Sound of Music 

We will also be singing and playing handbells along with the song.

Then, we will watch this song:
Whacky Do Re Mi

And, if we have time, we will play BOOMWHACKERS along with it!
