Remote learning forMarch 16-20
Good morning to everyone!
As we proceed with our online learning, I am asking students to use our music program called "Quaver." This is the music program that we use in class every week. The students will have fun trying new music interactive challenges.
Go to: quavermusic.com. click on student interactive and enter their code. Each class has a Quaver code to use.
The codes are by teachers last name:
LAURINO PKH6S
COLUCCI HBLS7
LETTS 79C7Q
They can go to student interactive and choose a category. Have your child write down what they did and if they found it interesting and fun. Include this in their packet upon return to school.
Thank you

This week, as we continue our online lessons, you will have to go to Quavermusic.com. Use student interactives and then pick Music Creations. Now pick Rhythm Selectah!
- Look at the icons on the right side of the screen, noticing that each picture has the same number of sounds as the note(s) or rest that goes with it.
- Select Option 1 and Syllables (lower right).
- For your first rhythms, drag only the chicken, dog, and/or shh icons onto Row 1 to create a rhythm pattern. (Example: dog, chicken, dog, shh)
- Speak and clap your pattern. (Say "dog, chicken, dog, shh" along with a steady beat.)
- Click FLIP ALL to see, clap, and speak your pattern with rhythm syllables.
- Select OFF (lower right) to see the pattern without rhythm syllables. Use this option to speak the rhythm if you use a different system of syllables.
- Add rhythm patterns to rows 2-4 using only the chicken, dog, and shh.
- Refine and revise the patterns until you are happy with them. Speak and clap the patterns along with the backing track.
