Dear Families,

Here is an American Folk Song for you to sing with your family called Great Big House In New Orleans. This is a very cute song.

There are a pair of two new musical notes that we are not familiar with that will be introduced to you in the drum part of this song.

This new notes is called a pair of Sixthteenth Notes.

These pair of sixtheenth notes only gets 1/2 of a count, which is the same amount of counts a single eighth note gets.

This is a single Eighth Note.

Please note that the drum part has the sixtheenth notes in it.

Enjoy!

Warmly,

Ms. Wilder

Assignment
