Hello 5th grade choir!

This week we worked on singing HARMONY in Thula Klizeo!  We sing in HARMONY when two sections of choir are singing different pitches (notes) with the same words at the same time!  One part sings high and one part repeats the regular melody (we call this the low  part).  We have decided at Hidden Valley and Brookside who are singing which parts. 
Do you remember which part you sing??
We start singing HARMONY (in 2 parts) when Thula Klizeo divides into two singing parts (after the Boom Boom Pah quiet (piano) then medium loud (mezzo forte) then very loud (fortissimo or ff) .  You can see this on your sheet music at the bottom of the third page.
This week I would like for you to practice your harmony part!  You can use the video to help you remember when you start to sing harmony.  
MAKE SURE TO BRING YOUR PRACTICE LOGS THIS WEEK!!!  It is the last week and we will be exchanging them for new ones!!!

We also worked on a new warm-up using SOLFEGE or NUMBERS.  SOLFEGE is the word for when we sing do-re-mi etc.  I'll put a copy of that warm up below.

HAPPY SINGING!!

Hello 5th grade singers!

For this week please continue practicing Thula Klizeo and I will include below a link to the lyrics to Halloween rounds that we sang this week.  Please remember to bring me your completed practice sheets with your parents initials every week!  This counts towards your music grade and is very important!  Make yourself a reminder to bring your music folder and practice sheet to school on choir days (Wednesday for Wade Thomas, Thursday for Manor, Brookside and Hidden Valley).  I will also include a link for the rubric/grading policy that you and your parents signed below as well.  Also please remember to bring your t-shirt forms next time!

Thanks everyone!!

Hey --- kayah nah-lah pah-say-kayah

I loved singing with all of you this week!!  For your practice this week you can practice any of the songs we have learned on the Rounds #1 or Rounds #2 lyrics sheets.  In case you need it, HERE is a copy of the Rounds #2 sheet.  Remember, practice for 30 minutes or more per week, and make sure your parents initial it and bring it to me when I see you next time.  Great job everyone!

Hello 5th Grade Chorus!!

I was SO IMPRESSED by all of the practicing you did last week!  It was clear that you had worked on the songs because you all knew them so well!!  For this week you can practice ALL of the songs on the Rounds #1 sheet.  Here's a few things to remember about practicing and your practice log:

• Fill in the amount of time that you practiced for each day/weekend - it needs to add up to AT LEAST 30 minutes per week
• have your parents initial it 
• If you need parents initials from last week get them this week and I will stamp your practice work from last week when I see you next

​See you next week!
:) Mrs. B

Hello again!  
I wanted to make sure that you were able to see the practice rubric and guidelines from home, so I'll attach a copy of it here.  See you soon!

I had such a fun time singing with you this week!  Your homework is to practice some of the songs we learned together for 30 minutes this week.  I wrote them on the board at the end of class, but as a reminder I remember that we sang :

• Popocatepetl
• Scotland's Burning
• Chocolate Cookie
• Bottle of Pop
• Junk in the Backyard

I will attach a copy of the rounds 1 sheet here in case you need it.
​You don't have to practice 30 minutes in one day, just 30 minutes total (or more if you'd like!) for the whole week.
Happy Singing!!  See you next week!
