Week of 5/18/2020:
Hello Mrs. Llufrio’s and Mrs. Rosnick’s classes!
Today we are going to continue recording songs for our digital performance of Pete the Cat and the New Guy.
This week, everyone needs to record themselves singing our last song:
There Is Something Everyone Can Do
IMPORTANT RECORDING INFO
When you record yourself, you need to wear headphones so you can listen to the practice track while you sing. This way you can hear the practice track, but it won’t be heard on your recording. It’s really important that you are listening to the practice track so everyone’s recordings will be the exact same speed. This will allow me to combine them together!
Here’s a video of me demonstrating this: Mr. Santulli records himself!
ONE MORE IMPORTANT THING
If you send it to me, I WILL be sharing it with the public like a concert. Check with your parents. If you don’t want to be seen, then only send me audio and not video.
*You can also send me a video and tell me only to share the audio and I can pull the audio out of the video file for you.*
When you finish your recording, please send it to me at zsantulli@fredericksburgacademy.org
Next week for your last music class of the year, we will have our digital performance! Using all of your wonderful recordings I will compile them into a single video, upload it to YouTube, and send it out for you to watch and share with your friends and families wherever they are!
Miss you all and hope you are well

Don’t forget that you will need to find something to use as YOUR instrument. Use whatever you have! A Tupperware container filled with something could be a shaker, rain stick, or thunder tube, a box or pot could be a xylophone or drum, anything bumpy could be a guiro scraper, and a frying pan makes a great gong or cymbal! Part of the WOW part of this digital performance will be all the neat things you found to be your instrument!
When you finish your recording, please send it to me at zsantulli@fredericksburgacademy.org

I hope you’ve been practicing with all the tracks I’ve been sending every week because now…….WE ARE GOING TO TRY SOMETHING SUPER EXCITING!!!
We couldn’t have our Pete the Cat and the New Guy concert live in the theater, so I am going to put together a DIGITAL performance.
