Learn each of three parts by clapping or tapping your lap while you watch the video.

The tambourine: clap.

The triangle: tap your index fingers together.

The drum: pat your lap.

Step 3 - Make or find a home-made instrument and play with the song. You can choose to make a drum, a triangle or a tambourine.

Search “make a simple drum” or “make a simple tambourine” on Google and you will find lots of ideas for how to make a simple instrument. Make the instrument, and then choose one of the three parts in “A Ram Sam Sam” and play along with the second video above.

When you can play it, video yourself playing the piece and save for future assessment

Grade 4

Watch the video on this page:

Step 2 - Complete the worksheet.

Complete the attached worksheet about the meaning of the words in the song. All the answers can be found in the first video above.

Step 3 - Learn the untuned percussion parts.

Watch the following video:

https://funmusicmembers.com/at-home/4l1-2/

In this video there are three untuned percussion parts: the claves, the triangle and the tambourine. Firstly, learn to play each one of them by clapping your hands or tapping your lap. You may need to watch the video over and over again to learn the parts correctly.

Then find or make an instrument to use as a pair of claves, a triangle or a tambourine, and play it along with the video. This can be as simple as finding two sticks to hit together as claves, or a plastic container to use as a tambourine.

Then record your performance on video and save for future assessment

CPPS Music (PREP)

WEEK 1-2

Advance Australia Fair - Revision of BEAT

1. We are learning about Australia's National anthem

2. We are preparing to learn how to sing Australia's National Anthem, 'Advance Australia Fair'

Step 1 - Listen to the National Anthem (Advance Australia Fair) sung by children here in Melbourne. This is the version we will be learning to sing. Do not sing along but listen carefully so you understand what the song sounds like as this will make the learning of the song much easier.

Step 2 - Listen to the song again but this time clap the Beat along with Mr. Kant.

Beat - steady like the ticking of a clock

Rhythm - the words you sing in a song

Step 3 - Listen to Advance Australia Fair played by Mr. Kant on the piano. This time, I would like you to march to the BEAT on one spot or if you like around the room .
