Hello students! Here is a link to this week’s lesson for students in second, third, fourth and fifth grade. You will be playing and creating rhythm patterns using quarter notes, eighth notes and quarter rests. Click the link below and follow steps 1, 2 and 3. Next week we will continue with the rest of the steps. You can clap or pat the rhythms, or play them on any instrument that you have at home! If you don’t have an instrument…make one out of household items (be sure to ask your parents permission first). Two pencils make excellent rhythm sticks, for example. Be creative and have fun!
Please let me know when you have completed your assignment by leaving a comment here on the blog, or emailing me a screenshot of the rhythm you created at rafferb@dearbornschools.org.

Hello fourth and fifth graders! I hope that you are singing, playing your recorders, dancing and enjoying this time with your families. This week let’s review the notes on the music staff.
Click this link to go to the MusicPlay Website and play a note review game:
Scroll down the page until you see the Games bar, and click “All Games”.
Scroll down to game number 4, “Note Name Memory” and click Play.
Play level one and then move on to level two. Remember, if a note is on a line, think Every Good Boy Does Fine. If a note is on a space, spell F A C E! Remember to start from the bottom line and space of the music staff to use these tips!

Hello awesome aviators! Here is a sing along video of Brush Your Teeth. Add your own body percussion and have fun! Feel free to record yourself singing and send it to me at rafferb@dearbornschools.org
Hello Fourth and Fifth grade students! This is a great time to practice recorder. Please talk to your parents about when and where in the house is the best time to practice before you begin. Here is a reminder of steps to take when learning a new song:
When learning to play a new song begins playing it slowly while maintaining a steady beat. Gradually increase the tempo (play it faster) each time you practice.
Here are some videos to get you back on track!

I miss singing this song with you, boys and girls! Join along with me and share with your families.
And if you would like, draw a picture to illustrate one of the verses. For example, draw a picture of a mama turtle and her baby turtle digging, or a mama owl and her eight owls winking. Have your parents snap a picture of your drawing and email it to me at rafferb@dearbornschools.org. Happy music making!
Practice keeping the steady beat with one of our classroom favorites. Teach the song to sibling and come up with your own movements! Have fun 🙂
