Step 2 - Watch the second video and learn the untuned percussion parts:
https://funmusicmembers.com/at-home/3l1-2/
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
“Click Go the Shears”.
We are learning to sing a song Click Go the Shears.
Step 1 - Watch the video and learn the song.
Watch the video on this page:
https://funmusicmembers.com/at-home/4l1-1/
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

Sit still and listen to any one (or more) of the pieces Mr. Kant is playing.
Use your Beat Buddy to bounce the beat.
Did your Beat Buddy bounce fast or slow? Did it move high or low? Straight or all over the place?

Step 3: Draw a picture about the music.
Part A:
Get a large piece of paper and some pencils, crayons or textas. Choose one of the three pieces of music played by Mr. Kant. Write down the name of the music you listened to (one paper per music) and this time, draw a picture to show your Beat Buddy:
1. Moving to the beat
2. Moving high and low
3. Moving slow or fast
Part B:
Choose another piece of music played by Mr. Kant.
Listen to the music again.
While listening, draw a picture of what the music is about.
When you’ve finished your picture, take a photo of it and save it on your computer for future assessment.
Step 4: A Sailor Went To Sea | Practice Makes Perfect [Misleading]
I often hear the phrase "practise makes perfect." This in fact is misleading. As soon as one reaches close to 'perfection', one should imagine the 'perfection bar' moves higher. With this in mind, replace "practice makes perfect" with "practice makes progress". So, every time you practise something, aim to make it better than the last time you did it.
This week, practise 'A Sailor Went to Sea' [resource] again and ask yourself:
1. How can I do to improve?
2. What can I do specifically to improve?
3. When will I next practise for progress?
4. Who can help me practise better? Ask that person for help.
*Parental help is required
