This is the final of three episodes about pitch; this one is aimed at 4th and 5th grade, but we can all sing along. For more information, including printable lesson plans and ideas for extending the learning, visit us at musicboxpod.org.
High pitch or low pitch or something in between? We’ll use pitch to help us know which way to go, and we’ll hear different members of the instrument families with high or low pitches.
Pitch is high, pitch is low. We’ll have some fun with animal sounds that make high and low pitches, and we’ll pretend to be birds and cows.
A new season of The Music Box is coming soon! Hosted by musician and educator Jecorey Arthur, we’ll explore four fundamental music concepts — beat, rhythm, pitch and timbre — with episodes for all ages. Our website at musicboxpod.org includes extras like teaching ideas for extending the learning. New episodes coming September 5!
Don’t have an instrument? Don’t you worry!
Rachel Grimes is a composer from Carroll County, Kentucky. The ukulele class at Harmony Elementary interviewed her about what it’s like to be a composer today. Listen and you’ll learn that you can be a composer too! Sometimes you just need to start small. Just like you can build cities out of legos you can build symphonies out of just a few notes. Hosted and produced by Sara Louise Callaway, WUOL Curriculum design by Paul Robinson, JCPS Photography by Tyler Franklin Recording Assistance by Anne Gauthier Host: Harmony Elementary and James Albritton Music Credits: 00:00 Happiness Nugetts by Colleen :36 The Corner Room by Rachel Grimes 1:48 Brooks Farm Field Recording by Aaron Rosenblum 3:37 The Corner Room by Rachel Grimes, performed by Jason Seber and the Kansas City Symphony
Instruments that can talk?! Mozart as a super hero?! An old time machine in the back of the UofL music library?! How did this craziness happen? Oh ya, we let the 4th grade orchestra write the script… and it’s great! What exactly is classical music, we ask. Well, answers are always more complicated than we hope but it’s worth the ride. Hop on but make sure you buckle up and have your signed permission slip!
