@musicleem It’s a Google Slide I created based off of the 12 bar blues in C. Then I found out Hound Dog used that exact progression and had students play along to it!

Fourth grade students applying their knowledge of the 12 bar blues by playing the ukelele along to the C, F and G chords! #makingmusic #MIOSM @BCPSMusic

These amazing fifth graders sang and played the ukelele this morning to celebrate Music in Our Schools Month. So happy to have live music again 🎼🎶@BCPSMusic

This week we started our unit on The Nutcracker Ballet and Tchaikovsky’s music. Students demonstrated the musical form and rhythm of the Trepak using 🏀. We had a blast! #makemusicfun #Nutcracker

@shusters2nds You are so welcome! Harper made sure you got some gluten free goodies!

Third grade students used fall lyrics to create an original melody using Wixie and Song Maker. They used their knowledge of the pentatonic scale to create a singable melody. I was so impressed with their creations! 🎼🎶

[Kristin Farrell and Christine Skeen @Timonium_music]

@iacarinot Oh good to know! I’ve been using Wixie all week.

First grade students learned about Hispanic Heritage month by learning “Mi Cuerpo” (my body) and assigned different instruments to go along with the song. They did a great job! @BCPSMusic @LbrownLaurie

[Kristin Farrell and Christine Skeen @Timonium_music]

@TimoniumES_lib I actually sang this song to every class after we read the book. She introduced the song to us last year!

@shusters2nds @HarfordHills @MsSingletonBCPS @sgregorybcps @CbyersChristina Harper was so excited to eat with you!

[Kristin Farrell and Christine Skeen @Timonium_music]

So proud of my third graders for being determined and responsible to practice recorder on their own. They have had to learn virtually all year and they are rocking it! We are using Flipgrid for the first time this year and it’s a great digital tool! @BCPSMusic @shanejensen78

[Kristin Farrell and Christine Skeen @Timonium_music]

@shusters1sties @HarfordHills @sgregorybcps @CbyersChristina Harper had so much fun! Thanks for all you do!

[Kristin Farrell and Christine Skeen @Timonium_music]

I am so proud of my third graders persevering to play the recorder through virtual learning. This is only week two and they sound great! @BCPSMusic

[Kristin Farrell and Christine Skeen @Timonium_music]

This morning our CLS students used Jamboard to create their own pattern using so and mi. Then they performed their pattern using our virtual Boomwhackers. I was so proud of them! #BCPSMusic

[Kristin Farrell and Christine Skeen @Timonium_music]

Third graders were working hard today in their breakout rooms playing a game to help them spell words on the staff. They are working towards mastering their lines and spaces so they can start recorder! @BCPSMusic

[Kristin Farrell and Christine Skeen @Timonium_music]

Very proud of my second graders practicing writing their rhythms as we introduced the half note! Ss then created their own pattern and recorded it using Schoology assessments. #musicliteracy @BCPSMusic

[Kristin Farrell and Christine Skeen @Timonium_music]

Getting creative with practicing our steady beat/tempo with kindergarten! Ss will practice tapping the steady beat with the pumpkins and if we end the song on their name they get to be the leader and choose a body percussion. #virtualmusic #getcreative

[Kristin Farrell and Christine Skeen @Timonium_music]

Fifth grade students responded to a listening map using Jamboard in order to discuss the timbre of orchestra instruments. We also reviewed key terms from unit 1 (dynamics and tempo). They had some great answers! @BCPSMusic
