Week 3, Term 3

Hello to our Online Learners! Tempo has remained a focus in all of our Music classes over the past week and below I have provided a poster with some tempo terminology below which will help you to complete a short written task this week. Under each class there is a worksheet that you can download and print if you are learning from home. Please print your class worksheet if you can and store in your Music file, so that I can view it when we are hopefully all back at school soon. HINT: Accelerando is a gradual SPEEDING UP of the tempo. Think 'accelerate' like a car! Ritardando is a gradual SLOWING DOWN of the tempo.

Week 2, Term 2 Music

Aloha young musicians! Welcome back to Term Two everyone. At school we will be returning to our Ukulele and Music Theory program. For those of you that are learning from home, I have provided links to some ukulele skills and techniques for you to look over until we see you again. Here are some questions to test your theory from last term: What is a CHORD? What does the term TEMPO mean? Can you define the term RHYTHM? What are the NAMES of the strings on a ukulele? How many PARTS of the ukulele can you name? Here are some links to videos for those of you that have a ukulele at home. No doubt we will be seeing most of you back at school soon, so it might be helpful to watch these links to keep your ukulele skills and techniques up to speed. Keep practicing if you have your instrument at home! Year 4: G7 Chord Revision  Remember short nails on your fretting hand will help you with mastering your chords. You Are My Sunshine  Chords C and G7. Remember to start
