Rhythm of the Week
It is a crazy time in the world right now, and I miss you guys like crazy!!! So… let’s have a little music fun!!! Music and language are made up of different rhythmic blocks. Rhythm is the long and short sounds, the syllables of our daily lives. When we clap a word, we are clapping rhythm. Today, find some toys, food, items, pets that ahve 2 short sounds and 1 long sound – titi ta. If you can, take a picture and post it on our FaceBook page – “Westwood Music Room”. Lucy, my little girl, and I will post what we find too. Have fun,
Ms, Syndi

Finding Creative YouTube channels
Today in class, I shared a blog post on creative youtube channels to start some critical thinking in what we chose to watch. My daughter loves youtube but some of what she watches is a little silly.
What about
- Making music with an apple? Or a red balloon?
- Rock stars using instruments we have in the classroom?
- An epic patty cake song?
Check out the blog post and videos we checked out.
