四年級普通音樂課 - 包括尤克里裡

Hello! Welcome to 4th Grade Music with Mr. Darrell!

In this class, we will learn to:
- sing canons/rounds and partner songs
- use quarter notes, eighth notes, and sixteenth notes in rhythmic patterns
- introduce the ukulele as an instrument for beginners
- Learn about a different musician each month

Our classes will focus on three main musical elements: singing, rhythm, and instrument playing (ukulele). Classes will begin with a hello song and a vocal warm-up. We will then dive into the first objective for singing. After that, we will practice our rhythmic objective for the week. Following, we will practice our ukulele objective. If there is time at the end, we will play a game. 

Here is the general weekly breakdown of the main topics and objectives in class (subject to change):
Week 1: Prepare to sing a canon / introduce eighth notes and quarter notes / introduce the ukulele
Week 2: Sing a simple canon / practice using eighth notes and quarter notes / first chord on ukulele
Week 3: Practice singing canon / create using eighth notes and quarter notes / switching between chords on ukulele
Week 4: Prepare songs for partner song singing / read patterns using eighth notes and quarter notes / practice switching between chords
Week 5: Continue to prepare songs for partner song singing / introduce sixteenth notes / introduce song with two chords
Week 6: Sing partner songs / practice using sixteenth notes / practice song with two chords
Week 7: Practice singing partner songs / create patterns using sixteenth notes / learn a third chord and chord progression
Week 8: Learn new partner songs / read patterns using sixteenth notes / introduce song with three-chord progression
Week 9: Sing new partner songs / read patterns using all previously taught rhythms / practice and play song with three chord progression / sing and play favorite songs
