The Lethbridge Curriculum Developers Group Explore French Through Music website is a free, open access resource to support French language instruction with fun and interactive songs. Their are various materials provided on the website including songs, interactive activities, and cultural exploration. Activities are available for individuals to download for use in your class or use them as models for developing your own language materials.

This build works out to be useful in two ways; flinging stuff and drumming on stuff. The overall concept is to increase the inertia of the moving servo by quickly snapping the cable tie to flick the arm. The mechanics of this build is modeled after a foot pedal used in a drum kit.

The flinging aspect is just fun. Fling coins, buttons and ping-pong balls. When using the animation recording feature of the Animate Shield, beats can be recorded an looped including adjusting the speed.

Action Plan: To add an active, fun component for Arts Ed. Grade One that would be motivating
and engaging for the students.
Summary: To achieve this I have adapted the Makey Makey invention kit for use in the shop
and created a water piano. I taught basic music theory and the basic scale first before allowing
the students to play and make their own music.

In this lesson, students learn about sound. Girls and boys are introduced to the concept of frequency and how it applies to musical sounds.

Introduction to works representative of a variety of music traditions. These include the repertoires of Western Europe from the Middle Ages through the present; of the United States, including art music, jazz, folk, rock, musical theater; and from at least two non-Western world areas.

3 part youtube playlist. A school classroom interview with local artist, Mandy Ringdal. 2 performaces of Bobby's Drums and Find the Good.

Music Education apps to learn basic elements of music, including fast/slow, high/low, loud/soft, reading music notation, etc.

In this lesson, created in partnership with the Association for Cultural Equity, students gain a deeper understanding of what life might have been like for a working class person during this period of American history by examining the songs and stories of Nimrod Workman. Born in 1895, Workman began working in the West Virginia coal mines at fourteen years old, and continued for 42 years. By analyzing Workman's songs and personal stories, which were recorded by Alan Lomax in 1983, students gain a first-hand account of one of the most dangerous, violent, and least regulated industries in American history, and discover the relationships between labor, industry, and the government from the 1890s to the end of World War II.

A fun way for the students to learn music theory, using more than just
a pencil and paper! This gets them moving, dancing, singing, and adds a
bit of fun competition to motivate the learners. I feel that in order
for the students to be able to perform on an instrument at the end of
the year concert we have, the students need to know how to read the
notes, rests and their rhythms!
Pre work – on the floor I use black electrician tape or black hockey
tape would work as well to mark of the 5 lines on the music staff. I
have then made a big treble clef and bass clef a laminated to put on
the floor.

Students are introduced to the concept of the image of music. After listening to a song, they draw images of it by deciding where different musical instruments were placed during recording. They further investigate audio engineering by modeling the position of microphones over a drum set to create a desired musical image.

Part 1 of a three part series of videos explaining the connection between science and music. Part 1 Pitch and Frequency, Part 2 Pitch and Frequency continued, Part 3 Frequency and Harmonics

Students' understanding of how robotic touch sensors work is reinforced through a hands-on design challenge involving LEGO MINDSTORMS(TM) NXT intelligent bricks, motors and touch sensors. They learn programming skills and logic design in parallel as they program robot computers to play sounds and rotate a wheel when a touch sensor is pressed, and then produce different responses if a different touch sensor is activated. Students see first-hand how robots can take input from sensors and use it to make decisions to move as programmed, including simultaneously moving a motor and playing music. A PowerPoint® presentation and pre/post quizzes are provided.

Métis culture will continue to be lived and celebrated when we pass our knowledge on to the generations who follow us.
Everyone is on a learning journey. While exploring historical and contemporary Métis ways of knowing and doing, these learning packages provide knowledge and understanding for students and teachers. Topics include: Traditional Harvesting Methods, Geographical Terms, Music and Dance, Conversational Michif, Beading, and Traditional Foods. The lesson plans and videos highlight Knowledge Keepers walking in the tall prairie grass, Elders preparing la galette (bannock), students learning Michif numbers, and family greeting each other for tea. We hope these resources will assist you in your learning.

This unit covers Music strand outcomes CP6.7, 6.8, 6.9, CR6.1, 6.2, 6.3 and CH6.1. The following unit plan was created by Linda Haas (Davidson) and Jade Ballek (Learning Coach) in the 2011-2012 school year. It reflects Saskatchewan's updated curriculum and incorporates authentic learning experiences and technology integration. Assessments are provided for each lesson as well as the unit.

This is a Project-Based planner and handout that students can use to track outcomes, break up their planning step by step, and show evidence of their work. The outcomes in the booklet are specific to Middle Years Arts Ed but could be adapted for other curriculum as well.
