Music at Home - April 13

Hello Royal Oak students!  I hope you all enjoyed a happy long weekend with your families!

Here are a few more musical activities for you to play around with this week. Just click on the link under the picture to get started.

Remember, none of these activities are required.  But if you are looking for some other things to do with your family during this time, here are some musical ideas.

Listen  to the story of Peter and the Wolf, with music by S. Prokofiev.

     Watch this story of about a boy's adventure with his friends. 
     You will hear different instruments play a special sound for each character. 
          Then listen to the story again to see the instruments making the music!

     Design your own Tongue Twister!

     A Tongue Twister is a short sentence that only uses words
          that start with the same letter or sound.
    They are difficult to say, especially if you try to say it quickly three times in a row!

     Try to speak these examples:

          She sells seashells by the seashore.

          Four fine fresh fish for you.
          Tom threw Tim three thumbtacks.

     Write your own Tongue Twister:

          1. Choose one letter or sound for your Tongue Twister.

          2. Write your sentence using only words that start with that sound.

          3. Keep it short.

    Now, write a melody for your Tongue Twister in Google Music Lab.  
          Write one note for each word, and try singing your words along with your melody.
