Digital Music Assignment for 5.18 – 5.21

An assignment for students in band and orchestra has been posted in my Google Classroom. Students will listen to a short podcast about classical music in commercials and then research a song they think will fit into a commercial for an elegant and expensive car. All work is due by Thursday this week due to the Memorial Day holiday. As always if anyone has questions please reach out. I hope everyone is doing well and staying safe.

Howe Band and Orchestra Assignment 5.11 – 5.15

Hi Howe Students and Families. I miss you! I hope you all are doing well. This week you have two assignments due by Friday.

1.) uTheory.com lesson: Rhythm, Half and Whole Notes. I created a “how to” video for this week since some of you got confused about how the program worked when I assigned it last time. I hope it helps clear up any questions. All info can be found in Google Classroom.

2.) Chrome Music Lab Song Creation Lesson. Note you don’t need your instrument to do this assignment as you will be creating electronic music. A how-to video and instructions are in the Google Classroom assignment.

Since I am creating instructional videos for the assignments I’m not doing “office hours” any longer. If a student needs help just reach out to me and I’ll help you asap. All work is due by Friday at 3:30 pm.

Take care and stay safe!

Band/Orchestra Assignment 5.4 – 5.8

Hi All! This week students have two assignments due in Google Classroom. All students will complete a lesson in uTheory called “beat, quarter and eighth notes”.
