Music with Ms. Hayward: "A World of Song" (Continued ...)

"A World of Song" (Continued ...)

After an exciting week last week (100 Day!, Pancake Tuesday, Valentines Day, PD Day!) and a (hopefully) fun and relaxing long weekend, we were back our "travelling" around the world learning new songs. This week we "traveled" to Europe and learned songs from two countries.

An Austrian Went Yodelling (Austria)
and Rock-a-Bye, Baby Bear (Latvia)

We also sang some of our favourites of the songs we learned on our "travels" (Ram-Sam-Sam is particularly popular) and some of our old favourites (Peanut Butter still tops the list!)

The students were also super excited to find the newest Rhythm Shakers added to our Rhythm Instrument Box.

WE ARE MUSICIANS!

*Musicians are Thinkers - we critically listen to the patterns and how music music is put together and think about the effects these choices have.

*Musicians are Inquirers - we love to learn all sorts of music and new ways to create music.

*Musicians are Knowledgeable - we need to learn and understand Musical Elements, the basic building blocks of music.

*Musicians are Communicators - Music is a means of communication beyond oral language. According to the IB Arts Scope & Sequence, "Music delights and stimulates, soothes and comforts us; music allows students to communicate in a unique way. "

*Musicians are Risk-Takers - we take risks each time to try to create a piece of new music, each time we learn new music, and each time we perform for an audience.

*Musicians are Reflective - As the Arts Scope & Sequence tells us, "Music is both an active and reflective process when making and listening to it."
