Hello fifth grade ukulele players -- her are some resources to help you practice "Wonderland" this weekend. The lyric sheet will show you how to make the chords and the video will show you what strum pattern to use. The one thing you won't be able to do is strum along with Taylor Swift. We're doing our version is a different key from the original.Richard Lawtonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13755944780698478679noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4639141775739230691.post-90670862367135255402016-06-03T20:47:00.001-07:002016-06-03T20:51:24.623-07:00Culmination Song #3 -- Mash up of "Heroes" and "In My Life"<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinTRstP9qw-o3EEU4LFgNwibLh1A0uuH7t2ht1bf_OE31tKvR9UgV8AJ9O-fbVTDgAW36o0sSmC3Nc-9Uay26M5j9V1YyYpiUWm5UfxfL8GRCQyC0G9KBMt5DfJ1bmeVI8LxCgGkE04wI/s1600/Screen+Shot+2016-06-03+at+8.44.27+PM.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinTRstP9qw-o3EEU4LFgNwibLh1A0uuH7t2ht1bf_OE31tKvR9UgV8AJ9O-fbVTDgAW36o0sSmC3Nc-9Uay26M5j9V1YyYpiUWm5UfxfL8GRCQyC0G9KBMt5DfJ1bmeVI8LxCgGkE04wI/s640/Screen+Shot+2016-06-03+at+8.44.27+PM.png" /></a></div><br />
Hi Fifth Graders -- here is the mash up on the David Bowie and Beatles song that will be our second number in the show. I do not have a recording the "Heroes" in A, but here is "In My Life," sung in the correct key. Just click on the play button below the lyric sheet. Particularly if you are part of the "stairs side," you will need to have the words to "In My Life" memorized.<br />

Okay, so technically this is the 3rd or 4th song, but I don't have a good recording on the mash up, so let's get started practicing this Taylor Swift song. We will be doing it in the key F, not in Eb as it is recorded here. Here are the lyrics. Culmination is three weeks from today, so get busy!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjc6SbsMawFlhdJSe6twUvcmiaYsRH6sIfPtsspUZOx0jZHESAZWu7gEIAr2MxmbSl9TgrsHrftbavKPzlxj4NhEjfMLs335Y06Ducxfry2hL8ajAE2UssWCwwhyphenhyphen88sPyTas_Ak4njfR38/s1600/Screen+Shot+2016-05-19+at+6.14.31+AM.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjc6SbsMawFlhdJSe6twUvcmiaYsRH6sIfPtsspUZOx0jZHESAZWu7gEIAr2MxmbSl9TgrsHrftbavKPzlxj4NhEjfMLs335Y06Ducxfry2hL8ajAE2UssWCwwhyphenhyphen88sPyTas_Ak4njfR38/s640/Screen+Shot+2016-05-19+at+6.14.31+AM.png" /></a></div>Richard Lawtonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13755944780698478679noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4639141775739230691.post-62120150196848880582016-05-14T08:38:00.001-07:002016-05-14T10:42:55.670-07:002016 Wonderland Renaissance Faire - "Ungaresca" - Third Grade<iframe src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/166628416" width="640" height="360" frameborder="0" webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen></iframe><br />

"Ungaresca" is the oldest part of our Ren Faire presentation, and might be the most authentic Renaissance pieces we do. The third graders developed the choreography in the triple meter section which follows the form -- 8 measure A section 12 measure B section -- of the song. I've done this piece every year I've been at Wonderland, but I can't ever recall better dancing or recorder playing!

There are so many things that I like about this piece, from the idea of students folk dancing to live folk music performed by other students, to the lager phones, to the fact that Tideo is one of those pieces that every music teacher does eventually, and I love the way ours turned out. I have a feeling we'll be doing this every year from now on.Richard Lawtonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13755944780698478679noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4639141775739230691.post-71020222976298649632016-05-14T08:24:00.000-07:002016-05-14T08:24:42.736-07:002016 Wonderland Renaissance Faire - "Khorovod" - Second Grade<iframe src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/166628414" width="640" height="360" frameborder="0" webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen></iframe><br />

This year we included a 2nd grade dance performance and I am very please with the results. The second grades did two dances, including this one - "Khorovod" - a spring garden song from Russia, which they performed to fixed choreography.

Good morning! Great performances from everybody yesterday and this year we have some video, thanks to some helpful last minute videographers. This first piece is one we have been doing for several years and uses the famous song by Henry the VIII about his mysterious lady friend. The kids developed the gestures that accompany the lyrics.

Recorder players from Mr. Galvez's and Ms. Brier's class take note -- this video tutorial should help you master the recorder break for "Huron Carol." We have a rehearsal on Monday so I hope you will need to get busy.

Hey third grade magnet. Here's a video that talks about how to create an improv for "African Noel." Remember -- you all need to know how to play the response. As for the improvised call, I will be looking for 8 to 10 brave musicians who wish to "give their testimony."<br />

Hey Third Grade Magnet. Here's the recorder part for the song we learned this week. You want to at least be able to play the drone, but I will also need about a dozen people to play the melody -- so get busy!<br />

Hi Third Grade Home School. Most of you can already play "Jingle Bells," but I thought I would throw this up there any way. So get busy.<br />

How many of you will play recorder on this song? That depends on how many of you learn it over the break. It is beautiful and challenging, and I plan to do something quite special with it for the show. <br />
