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

PREP Music
Semester 1
Week 1-2
Learning Intentions:
1. We are learning to sing a song “A Sailor Went to Sea” with actions.
2. We are learning to find and play a homemade instrument that sounds like a triangle.
3. We are learning to play homemade percussion instruments to song “A Sailor Went to Sea”.
Step 1: Sing the song and do the actions.
Begin by watching this video:
https://funmusicmembers.com/at-home/kl1-1/
When you’ve watched the video, practice doing the actions while you sing the song.
If possible, play with a partner or a parent, doing the air claps together facing each other.
Step 2: Make or find some simple instruments.
There are two types of instruments you can make (many of you did this last lesson):
1) A drum - this week you could see, try playing a drum on iPad, or similar device (see what you can find)
2) Claves - Tapping sticks - easy! This video explains how to play claves.
3. Triangle - I found a metal meat tenderizer. I put a string through the hole on the handle to hold the instrument and used a metal rod to strike it (metal skewer). It sounds like a triangle (amazing)
What does a triangle look and sound like?
Step 3: Play the instrument and record yourself singing or playing the song. Save your recording as you may wish to include it in your portfolio for assessment (more information on this later)
Watch this video:
https://funmusicmembers.com/at-home/kl1-2/
In this video you will learn to play the tambourine part with your home-made drum
and play the triangle part with your tapping sticks if you didn't get to make your triangle.
