Music at Home May 8

Hello Royal Oak students! I hope you've been enjoying this beautiful weather!

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 Sounds of Nature!
Click HERE to print the
"Listening Scavenger Hunt"
     People can make beautiful music with their voices and instruments,
     but there are some wonderful sounds to enjoy in Nature, too!

     Bring this Listening Scavenger Hunt outside, and circle all of the sounds you hear.
     Do you hear any other sounds?  Add them to your chart, too!

     After you have been outside and heard all you can,
     come back in and talk about what you heard.
          Were some sounds harder to find than others?
               Which sounds were quiet, and which sounds were loud?
                    Did you hear something you have never heard before?
  

Move  to La Bamba!
Click HERE to dance along with
"La Bamba"
     Originally a folk song from Mexico, Richie Valens made "La Bamba" famous in 1958,
      and the world has been singing and moving along every since!

          Click on the link above to learn one way to move to this music,
          and then make up your own moves to create a new dance!

       

Make Music  with the Voice Spinner! 
Click HERE to open the
Voice Spinner
     Have you ever tried to speak backwards?  

     For example, if you speak the word "POTS" backwards, it sounds like "SPOT".

          The Voice Spinner allows you to record sounds, and then play them backwards
          and forwards, slowly and quickly.

              Try recording your name or part of your favorite song, 
              and then listen to what happens when you "spin" the sound around!
