Hello First Grade!

This week we are going to finish our song “Give a Cheer”.

Last week we added instruments!  At the start of the video I will talk about what you can do if you don’t have any instruments at home, because you will want to have some instruments ready again this week.

At the end of this lesson we are going to try to play the whole arrangement start to finish.  Here it is so you can see it, but your goal should be to sing and play the whole song without looking at this.

“Give a Cheer” (arranged by First Grade)

  1. Sing with Sticks
  2. Sing with Guiro scrapers
  3. Sing with Wood blocks
  4. Sing with Frame drums
  5. Sing with any instrument you want
  6. No instruments (just singing)

Give a Cheer Week 3


Can you sing and play the whole arrangement?  I’d love to see it!  Send me a recording (audio or video) at zsantulli@fredericksburgacademy.org

Miss you all and hope you are well!

Give a Cheer Week 2

If you would like to record yourself (audio or video) feel free to send it to me at zsantulli@fredericksburgacademy.org

Hello Falcons!

I hope that you are all well.  I will be sending you weekly music lessons!  
Here is your first lesson in honor of St. Patrick’s Day.

Traditional Irish Blessing
Music by Carol Erion
May the road rise to meet you
May the wind be always at your back
May the sun shine warm upon your face
May the rain fall soft upon your fields
And until we meet again
May you rest in the palm of God’s hand.
Lesson
Step 1.  Test out your ability to watch and listen to a YouTube video 
Step 2.  Sing along where it’s comfortable for your voice
Step 3.  While you sing, pat your lap in time with the piano
Step 4.  Have someone record you with their smartphone or tablet (sound only or video, your choice) and email it back to me:
Bonus step:  Use something from your house as an instrument and play it with the rhythm of the piano.  It can be an actual instrument or anything you have like a pot, tupperware, empty bucket, or whatever you have!
EXTRA bonus step: Teach someone at your house to sing this song with you!
Have fun and sing proud!

Mr. Santulli
