5th Grade
Deconstructing a Popular Tune
|
Recently we watched this version of the Gotye song, "Somebody That I Used to Know" in class. We then analyzed the form and counted how many different things are happening at a time. Now we are looking at the music notation and learning to layer the different parts on classroom instruments.

Students in 5th grade had a great time learning the song to stop the train which is a play on a British warning of what to do on a train in cases of emergency. After the kids got the hang of it we performed in 3 part round. Ask your student how much they would have to pay as a penalty for improper use of the chain.
