4th Grade Music and Chorus Lessons Week of May 18 - 22

 Chorus Lesson


* Review singing "The Star Spangled Banner." When you sing it try and sound very proud. Here is the background music for you to sing along with after you try it without background music. See if you can sing it without looking at the words.
* Review the song  God Bless America. Use a lot of air when singing it since it gets very high at the end of the song.







* This week you will learn a new song called "You're A Grand Old Flag." It's a song everyone usually joins in on at Flag Day. Listen to it and try singing on your own.

* This week you will learn a fun body percussion song called "Epo I Tai Tai E". It is a song from New Zealand. First listen to the melody and the words. Then try singing along. Then on the google stream I will sing the song for you and add simple body percussion. 




* Next you will learn about a composer named Rossini. He was from Italy and lived from 1792 - 1868. He was one of the most famous composers of opera. He supposedly could be a very lazy composer. When Rossini was writing music in bed if he dropped a piece of paper instead of reaching down to pick it up he'd write on another piece of paper. He also enjoyed cooking and became a gourmet chef later in life. Here is one of Rossini's most famous pieces, "The William Tell Overture." Listen to it and see how it makes you feel.
