How can we write down music? Great work by G5 students!

Tim:

Rhythm:

Write down two different beats, either in correct music notation or in a “fantasy” notation that you have invented.

1.) Complete your rap or write a new one; you can work with a partner. Your rap will have 1 Chorus (2 lines) and 2 Verses (2 – 4 lines each).  Don’t worry about the amount of syllables; you don’t have to follow a beat.

An example for two good lines of rap:

Learning things is not always easy

Science is hard. I don’t get it. Believe me!

 

2.) Rehearse your rap so you can perform it in this order:

Chorus – Verse 1- Chorus – Verse 2 – Chorus

1) Choose one of the following lines of rap. Complete it with a second line that rhymes and flows well!

I don’t don’t feel so good today…

Now tell me what you’re gonna do…

This city is so dirty, it’s driving me mad…

School is cool but I disagree…

You may find this rhyming dictionary useful.

2) Write 2-4 sentences to answer the following questions:

– What is a turntable?

– How does it work?

Use your own words. Your explanation does not have to be perfect.

Research on the internet and ask your parents. Don’t copy other people’s writing.

The Quarter Rest: draw and stretch a small letter “r”

Where is the note “G” on the stave (the 5 lines on which music is written)? Find the letter “G” in the Treble Clef.

The Eighth Rest: like a hand showing the number “8” the Chinese way
