Music Art Lesson

Hi Everyone,



I hope you enjoy this listening art activity.  Please remember that this is optional.  If you would like to upload your finished product to IRIS and tag me in it I would love to see them.



Materials: Anything you would like to make your artwork.  It can be pencil and paper, pencil crayons, chalk on the sidewalk (ok that's a stretch for today but maybe in a few weeks!), paint!



Step 1:  Pretend you're a detective! Find a comfy place to sit and just listen.  How long can you last

             just sitting and listening to everything going on?  What do you hear?



Step 2: Pick your music.  I recommend The Planets by Gustav Holst.  Here is the link...   You don't

            have to listen to the whole thing as it is very long, maybe just start with one planet, it is up to

            you. I know everyone has different situations going on in their house right now.



Step 3: Listen... just listen... close your eyes if you want. Lie down if you want. It is up to you. Listen

           to the instruments, the volume. What do you feel? What memories or stories pop into your

           head?



Step 4: Create your art! - you can draw pictures or just use lines. It is up to you, there is no wrong
            way to do this.




I hope this adds some calm to your life and gives you a chance to just be still! (Then do Mr. Der's movement activity and get active ;) ) Enjoy!

Peace Like A River

Here is a new Peace Song for you to try out! Enjoy

It's Not A Broom

Here is a fun drama game for you to play!! You can use anything around the house. I chose a broom.  Instead of saying this is a broom and I can sweep with it I am going to find different things the broom can be using my imagination! Watch the video to see what I come up with and have fun!

Scrub Brush Shuffle

Here is a fun song for you! All you need is a brush and something to play it with and play along!!

Please remember this is optional, just for fun if you have some time.

Recorder lesson A and B

I know we only just started the recorder but here is a rundown of what we talked about as well as the fingering for the notes A and B.  I also play a little song at the end for you.  I tried to attach the music and the sheet music but couldn't because of copyright, sorry!

Remember, this is optional, this is an extra activity if you have time!
