Hi Grade 2's!
We have been learning HOT CROSS BUNS on the recorder and other instruments in class. The notes we are learning are B, A and G. I have pictures here on this page on how to play these notes!
If you have a recorder at home you can practise these songs, if you don't have a recorder at home, you can sing the lyrics or even sing or clap out the rhythms as the music is playing.
If you have a xylophone at home, or a keyboard you can play along with B, A and G to these music YouTube clips too!
We have also been adding sound effects to the MORTIMER story by Robert Munsch and singing the chorus!
"Cling Clang Rattle Bing Bang,
gonna to make my noise all day!
HEY!"
Read along with the story, add your sound effects for the door, walking up and down the stairs (you can use instruments!) and of course sing! Add in your dynamics (the loud and soft when your sing and perform the song!)
You might even like to find another book your can add sound effects to when reading it or write your own music sound story!
