Music We Sang:
Title: The Itsy Bitsy Spider
About: We took this song to a 1st grade learning level. We had our spider crawl up the xylophones as the solfege syllables (do, re, mi...) got higher and we had the spider crawl down the xylophones as the solfege syllables got lower (do, ti, la...)
Words: The itsy bitsy spider went up the water spout.
Do, re, mi, fa, sol, la, ti, do
Down came the rain and washed the spider out.
Do, ti, la, sol, fa, mi, re, do
Out came the sun and dried up all the rain
And the itsy bitsy spider went up the spout again.
Do, re, mi, fa, sol, la, ti, do
Music for Rhythm
Title: Queen, Queen, Caroline
About: Students had to open their memory banks for this song! But this time we learned about rhythm! We learned how to read rhythm charts, as well as how to read using the words "long" and "short"
Words: Queen Queen Caroline
Washed her hair in turpentine
Turpentine made it shine
Queen Queen Caroline
- Pitch - Solfege syllables
- Rhythm = Rhythm is how long or short the sound is. (If the music has words, it's also the way the words go!)
