Disclaimer: This week's lessons are for my (Ms. Collins) use for teaching. I will amend them if a substitute is needed. These are not intended to be worked through independently by students. Welcome to Valentine's week! We will be reviewing lessons you've done with your substitute as well as exploring new content with a valentine twist. I hope you enjoy! Lessons for 3-5: Time Signature We're going to read the following nursery rhyme a few different ways. We're going to use beat rhythms to change between counting in groups of 2, 3, 4, etc. Pay attention to how the different groups of beats change the way the rhyme feels. How did the different groups of beats feel? Which one was the easiest for you to use? Why do you think it was easy? The following videos explain the concept of Time Signature, which has to do with groups of beats. We already know that the time signature, or meter, is a very important part of a piece of music. Isn't it interesting how the American and British names for notes are different? They still have all the same beat values, just different labels. The following videos are challenges! I want you to listen to them and see if you can determine what the time signature is. An easy way to think about this is feel and groups of beats. No need to listen to the entire song- the first 20 seconds or so should do. Write your answers down and you can check yourself at the end. 1. The Stars and Stripes Forever 2. The Blue Danube 3. Take 5 4. Money 5. Mission Impossible How did you do? Here are the answers: 1. 2/4 2. 3/4 3. 5/4 4. 7/4 5. 5/4 Ready for a challenge? The following song has 2 meters that take turns! Can you figure out what they are? Check your answer here! Let's review letter names of lines and spaces in the treble clef staff.

Love Somebody: we are going to use popsicle sticks and hearts to spell out the name of someone we love using quarter notes, eighth notes and rests. 2. Compare and contrast: Did you know that when someone records or performs a song that was written by someone else that it is called a "cover"? We are going to listen to original version of I Want You Back and the cover. Think about how the two versions are the same and different. Think of tempo (speed), dynamics (volume), voices, instruments, etc. 3. Time for a wiggle break! 4. It's Alright: body percussion and rhythm practice 5. Poison pattern game with candy hearts. 6.
