You have several options to choose from for your Music Class Blizzard Bag assignments, including a variety of paper activities and completely online work. You must complete one of the options for each Blizzard Bag Day (BBD), so if today is BBD #1, you must complete one option. If today is your second or third day missing music class due to a BBD, you must complete a DIFFERENT option than you did the last time(s); you can't do the same option twice this winter. Good luck!
Online Options (Scroll down for paper options to print)
These options are paper-less, and therefore are not included in your paper packet. All online assignments require you to "make a copy" of the Google doc, type your answers into that copy, and share that document with me.
Online Option 1: Symphonic Websites
Online Option 2: Chrome Music Lab
Online Option 3: Isle of Tune game
Online Option 4: Very Young Composer Videos
Paper Options
These options can be completed using the paper copies you were already given in your packet, or by printing new copies using the pdf links below.
Paper Option 1
Looking for Musical Patterns...
Please complete the two worksheets called “Finish the Sequence” and “Rearrange the Notes,” or find a printable electronic version HERE. Both worksheets will have you thinking about
musical (melodic) patterns.
On “Finish the Sequence,” write a treble clef at the
beginning of each example and write the next pattern of notes in the sequence.
On “Rearrange the Notes,” figure out and write all the
DIFFERENT musical (melodic) patterns that can be created with the series of
letters and write them into the given measures.
Try your best NOT to repeat a pattern and discover them all!
Paper Option 2
Football, Anyone?Read the three short biography paragraphs of Bach, Mozart, and Beethoven on the back of the Option 2 instruction page in your blizzard bag (or find an electronic version here).
Attached to the biography page, you will find the football worksheet entitled "It's Up...It's Good". Using what you read on the biography page, complete this worksheet by connecting each football to the correct composer's goalposts (you could draw lines between the footballs and goalposts, or perhaps use 3 different colored crayons/colored pencils and color each composer's goalposts and footballs a specific color). Which composer scored the most field goals??
Paper Option 3
Musical Letters, Percussion, and a Circus; Oh My!Complete both the "Name That Percussion" AND "Can You Picture That?" worksheets attached to the Option 3 instruction page in your blizzard bag.
The "Name That Percussion" worksheet is just like the musical "puzzles" you created back in September with your summer activity and your name. Place the missing musical letters on the staff. When placing the notes on the staff, remember the 'golden rule:' No matter what, we always go UP!!!
The "Can You Picture That?" worksheet asks you to name all the numbered letters on the staff at the top of the page, and then use those numbered letters to complete the story. **Huge hint alert!!** Don't forget about those "odd duckies" down below the bottom of the staff; remember that they are rain drops. One is still "dripping" and the other has been "caught" by the ground. :)
Paper Option 4
Can You Handel It?Read the short biography paragraph of George Frideric Handel printed on the Option 4 instruction page in your blizzard bag (or find an electronic version here). Using what you read in his biography, complete the "Happy Birthday, Handel!" Crossword Puzzle printed on the back of the Option 4 instruction page in your blizzard bag. As a bonus, you can listen to a performance of the "Hallelujah Chorus" from Handel's Oratorio, Messiah, below.
Have you heard this piece before? If yes, do you remember where you have heard it before?
