Music

Kii TPS community!

In grade 3-6 Music we have been playing games and chanting rhymes to explore the difference between Beat and Rhythm.

Anna Banana plays the piana

All she can play is The Star Spangled Banner

Anna Banana split!

Double double this this

Double double that that

Double this, double that

Double double this that

I know a washer woman, she knows me.

She invited me to tea.

Guess what we had for supper?

Slippery soap with butter.

We have been feeling the beat in our bodies, keeping time with the beat and looking at how many beats a note goes for. We have been putting the rhythm of words into clapping patterns.

We have also begun to explore Form through song and accompaniment. The two songs students have really enjoyed singing are below. Sing together at home if you have a chance!

Feel Like Going Back Home by The Pigram Brothers

Verse 1

I feel like going back home

Right now while the mangoes are ripe

Frangipani's starting to bloom

And the blue bone are starting to bite

Chorus

Hey mum I can just taste your fish soup and rice

I'm coming back home to you

Can't hack the pace of the city life

Soon I'll be dreaming in Broome

Verse 2

Driving up the dusty red highway

I got this freedom flowing wind in my hair

Soaking up the wild desert country

All my worries are gone I don't care

Chorus

Hey mum I can just taste your fish soup and rice

I'm coming back home to you

Can't hack the pace of the city life

Soon I'll be dreaming in Broome

Bridge

Lazy breeze flowing through your mind

Sky blue seas catch a feed there anytime

Verse 3

I feel like going back home

Right now while the mango's are ripe

Frangipani's starting to bloom

And the blue bone are starting to bite

Chorus

Hey mum I can just taste your fish soup and rice

I'm coming back home to you

Can't hack the pace of the city life

Soon I'll be dreaming in Broome

Count On Me by The Bruno Mars

Verse 1

If you ever find yourself stuck in the middle of the sea

I'll sail the world to find you

If you ever find yourself lost in the dark and you can't see

I'll be the light to guide you

We'll find out what we're made of

When we are called to help our friends in need

Chorus

You can count on me like one, two, three

I'll be there

And I know when I need it, I can count on you like four, three, two

And you'll be there

'Cause that's what friends are supposed to do, oh, yeah

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, yeah, yeah

Verse 2

If you tossin' and you're turnin' and you just can't fall asleep

I'll sing a song beside you

And if you ever forget how much you really mean to me

Every day I will remind you, oh

We'll find out what we're made of

When we are called to help our friends in need

Chorus

You can count on me like one, two, three

I'll be there

And I know when I need it, I can count on you like four, three, two

And you'll be there

'Cause that's what friends are supposed to do, oh, yeah

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, yeah, yeah

Bridge

You'll always have my shoulder when you cry

I'll never let go, never say goodbye

You know...

Chorus

You can count on me like one, two, three

I'll be there

And I know when I need it I can count on you like four, three, two

And you'll be there

'Cause that's what friends are supposed to do, oh, yeah

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh

You can count on me 'cause I can count on you
