Bubble Gum on A Stick

In music class, we like to take a poem and memorize it's lyrics. 



BUBBLEGUM ON A STICK,

TASTES SO SWEET THAT I GOT SICK.

MAKES ME FEEL SO ICK, ICK, ICK,

THEN I HAD TO SIT, SIT, SIT.





Next we try to figure out the rhythms and play it on percussion instruments.

Sometimes we add a game to it!
 
Finally we add a melody to it and play it on boomwhackers or xylophones.






Give it a try and join our band!

Bumblebee, Bumblebee

Grab some friends and play this ball bouncing game from Alabama.
Now grab your instrument and play rhythms and pitches.

Mario Theme Song

One of my favorite musicians is a guy named Bronkar Lee. He has some massive beat boxing skills. Check out him and his friend in this video. Can you name the barred percussion instrument his friend is playing?

Youtube video by Bronkar Lee. Check out his Youtube homepage.

New Folk Song

Here's a new folksong for you to play on Recorders, Xylophones, or piano. You can even use the piano app on your android or ipad device. Try it out!
