In this lesson, you will:
This week we’ll sing some songs that you could sing around the campfire or on a car trip.
Read the lyrics to "Take Me Out To The Ballgame".
Watch the video.
Replay the video and sing along!
A parody or musical parody is when you change the lyrics to something funny using the same melody of a song.
For example, you could sing "I hope we have ice cream for din-ner" to the tune of the first line of "Take Me Out To The Ballgame".
-or-
You could try "I want to go to the beach, soon" or "I don't like to do home-work".
Continue writing your parody until you have a full verse.
The notation video for this song will help with the rhythms.
Does it rhyme properly?
Perform your parody for your family or friends!
-or-
Record it and send it to your music teacher!
This is a parody of the song "Clementine".
'Frankenstein' was substituted for 'Clementine', making the song silly and even more fun!
Watch the video for #24 "Oh, My Darling".
Repetition is one of the ways that we learn something well.
Students improve singing on pitch, learn the lyrics and melody better with each repetition.
Students will develop their musicality if you sing, move, play more often!
Keep a list of the songs and activities that you like.
You can easily find any song by using the search engine on the website.
Assessment may not be required for your school or district.
Your teacher may ask you to email one of the suggested assessments.
Parents, Teachers and Administrators:
Music education is important for children.
Whether in class or at home, keep our children singing, playing, moving, listening and creating music!
