For the first few days of this new and anxiety-producing time of our lives, it’s good to just absorb and appreciate music and the comfort it can offer. At the end of this document there is a “Suggested Listening” Section. I encourage you to do a little listening each day in addition to what is below!

​

I will be including some resources if you have a ukulele, recorder, guitar or piano on the Resources for Everyone page!

 

Week 1:

Do the “CodeBreaker” worksheet for treble clef. Remember, “The Staff has Five...” poem, and that that goes from ​bottom​ ​to top.​ Try not to use the cheat-sheet at the top too often. Give yourself a minute to try and figure it out first!
Remember, as notes get higher, you go forward in the alphabet...

Watch Rachmaninov’s 2nd Piano Concerto Here: ​https://youtu.be/rEGOihjqO9w

Watch 3-5 minutes of each movement.

 

Here are the start times in the video:

Mvt. 1: Beginning
Mvt. 2: 11:30
Mvt. 3: 23:49
 

Think about:
● How does this music make me feel?
● What do I think of when I hear this music?
● If this were in a movie, what would be happening?

Fill out the listening log.

​

Week 2:

Do the “CodeMaker” worksheet for treble clef.

Next, since our instrument project was interrupted, see what you have around the house to make your own at home! If you can, send me a video or at least a photo - I’d really like to see them!

More things will be posted in your 5th grade Google Classroom, so be sure to check it!

Band Students:

We’ll have some really cool stuff up soon, still working on getting the tech all set up!
