Black Belt... Hiya!

Our first Grade 5 student chopped it up today with his black belt in Recorder Karate.  A HUGE win for this Room 4 student!  #celebrate  #karatechop #recorderrocks

Rhythm Test

Grade 4/5 classes have a rhythm test tomorrow.  Study sheets are going home or see the file below.  Happy studying!

Rhythm Test

Preparing for the playing test.

Don't forget to count in the beat, which sets the tempo (or speed).  We say 1, 2, ready go

Grade 4/5 students will be having a rhythm test next week on Wednesday.  We did a practice test this week and many found it challenging to listen to an 8-beat rhythm and write it out.  Yet, many students are able to do it!

The test will include:
1. separating rhythms into measures using bar lines
2. putting the rhythms you hear in the order you hear them
3. writing the rhythm you hear (8-beats long)
4. creating your own 8-beat rhythm using quarter, eighth and sixteenth notes
5. playing 4 measures of a rhythm pattern on the hand drum
6. identify note names, rests and their values (whole, half, quarter, eighth and sixteenth)

Make sure you practice them all because Ms. Rempel will choose which 2 you'll play for your test.

Note and Rhythms

The Grade 4/5 classes have been reading, writing and performing various rhythms showing whole, half, quarter, eighth and sixteenth notes and rests.

Practicing rhythms on our hand drums.

An excellent example of a student's work!

Listening tests.  Can you clap these rhythms?
