Music at Home April 24

Hello Royal Oak students! Good to see you again!

Here are a few more musical activities for you to play around with this week. Just click on the link under each 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 "Popcorn Song", performed by the Swedish Chef!

Click HERE to listen to the
Popcorn Song.

     Enjoy some music from the kitchen! 
         This famous chef uses pots and spoons and glasses to play along with this song.

     After you've watched the video once, 
          look for things around your house that make an interesting sound.

     Then play the video again, and play along with your "found-sound" instruments!  

Move  to the "Continental Drift" with Sid the Sloth!

Click HERE to learn the
"Continental Drift".

     Follow along with Sid as he teaches you a few dance moves.

          Then repeat these moves over and over with friends from around the world.

               Once you are an expert, teach your whole family and have a dance party!
 

Make a Musical Picture with the Spectrogram!

Click HERE to experiment with
the Spectrogram.

     A spectrogram is a picture of sound. It shows the frequencies that make up sound 
     (from low to high) and how they change over time (from left to right). 

    Explore this site to "see" the sounds of drums, birds and instruments.

    Then, use the mic to "see" your own sounds. What does it look like when you
         - whistle or sing
               - clap or rub your hands
                    - tap two spoons together
                         - make your dog bark!
