Kodaly 

Dalcroze 

All of these methods focused on music and some movement, while Schulwerk and Dalcroze were very movement centered. Kodaly and Schulwerk have a more structured lesson, yet Dalcroze wanted to let children explore how their bodies can interpret the music and let the story wonder.

Teaching a Dance

Here's my dance! I wish I could have found a way to make this full body, but there was no where to put the camera :(

Recorder Performance

Mind my congestion! :( It's hard playing a recorder sick! 

Week 9 - Instrument Families

1. PERCUSSION FAMILY  - this video demonstrates the percussion family because he is hitting, tapping, and shaking instruments that do not change pitch.

  

2. STRING FAMILY - This video demonstrates the string family because the strings are being strummed with the bow.

3. BRASS FAMILY - this video demonstrates the brass family because she is pressing the keys to change the pitch of the pipe. 

4. WOODWIND FAMILY - this video the woodwind family because she is blowing over the instrument to produce sound while pressing on multiple keys 

Teaching a Song

Here' s my song! Hope you all enjoy and that I did it right. If anyone wants the sign language that goes with the song feel free to ask! 

Week 7 - Vocal Technique

I chose the wonderful Miranda Sings as my example for how NOT to sing! She is not in tune and forces herself out of range.

For someone who sings correctly I chose the comedian that plays Miranda, Colleen Ballinger. She and her duet partner are both using correct posture and are singing in harmony.

Week 6

I did the "Rain on the Green Grass" poem correctly, so I am not sure where else I could improve. One thing I wish I did was take more time in presenting my poem. One issue I believe I have is that I am still camera shy and have trouble getting things right the first couple tries. I believe this issue will fade as we continue to record ourselves.
