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.

     If you've been following my blog recently, you know that you can use almost anything 

     around your home as a simple instrument. 

     These musicians have gone one step further; they have built complex instruments out of
     ice, stone and vegetables.  

     Click on the links above to learn about the special challenges and unique sounds of 

     these unusual instruments!

Make Music  on a Musical Staff!

Click HERE to begin
your composition

     As part of our Music Program of Studies, students learn to read, write and perform 
     melodic notation by singing, moving and playing instruments.

     Most people do not have a xylophone, but thanks to the generosity of Music Play On-
     Line, you can play around with these musical symbols in your own home.

     The symbols may look a little different from those we've used in class, but the So's and 
     Mi's are still there, just waiting for you to compose your own melodies!

     Start with Level One, and then watch the possibilities unfold before you as you move
     through the app!
