Virtual Music Room

I wish we could be together in the music room, so I've decided to bring the music room to you! Click on the picture. It will take you to a website that looks the same as the picture, but with clickable links. The links are a combination of music websites, games, books, and videos. Some of them will be familiar, but a lot will be new! Explore the different links. Let me know which ones you like the best!

Love,
Ms. Kurilko

Click here to enter the website!
This website is called Kandinsky, and was inspired by an artist named Wassily Kandinsky. He was an artist that compared paintings to making music.  The website turns anything you draw into sounds.  Try drawing different shapes, lines, letters, even spell your name.  Ms. Kurilko's favorite shape to draw in this activity is a circle.  If you haven't done it yet, try drawing a circle and see what it does!  Click the link above to draw or write something to create music. See what music you can create with your drawings!

5th Grade activity for the week of 5/25

5/25/2020

3 Comments

 
Hi 5th grade musicians!

​Ludwig van Beethoven was a famous composer from Germany. We have listened to many of his compositions in music class, in boomwhacker videos, and some of you have even played his music before.. Google has a Beethoven Google Doodle where you organize portions of Beethoven's scores into the correct order. I played it on his birthday a few years ago, and had lots of fun!

Here are the instructions:
1. CLICK HERE
2. Read about Beethoven: it will be his 250th birthday in December.
3. At the top of the page, click play on the Google Doodle.
4. As the story unfolds, you will need to put portions of the scores in correct order. You will not be able to continue on Ludwig's journey to the concert hall until you order the scores correctly. *Hint- the double bar line always goes at the end of the song*
5. As you solve each puzzle correctly, listen to each song.
6. When you are done, comment the name of your favorite Beethoven song on this post.

Have fun!
Love, Ms. Kurilko

5th grade lesson for the week of 5/18

5/16/2020

This week's activity involves the percussion of music.  I have included three Musication videos below.  The videos you see here are for percussion instruments.  (They are made by the same people that make the Boomwhacker videos we do in class.)  You'll notice that they sometimes give you body percussion options too (such as stomp, clap, or pat).  Choose one of these videos and either use their suggested motions, or create your own.  You choose the level of difficulty.  You can either follow one shape/sign and only do the movement when you see that shape/sign, or choose more than one and see if you can remember what movement to do with each of them.

​When you finish, answer the questions below.
