Magee begins, as he changes the lives of a racially divided small town
with his amazing and legendary feats.

Game Set #2
Make and Play a Percussion Instrument 4-27 to 5-1 Week 4 Make a percussion instrument and play some rhythms using your rhythm worksheet Be sure to add some dynamics (louds and softs) that you learned about last week. This week add tempo (different speeds), too. The kazoo you made two weeks ago is a wind instrument, because it uses air to make its sound. In bands and orchestras there are two families of wind instruments. Brass - 4 main instruments: trumpet french horn trombone tuba
Woodwinds - 5 main instruments: flute clarinet oboe bassoon saxophone
Percussion are instruments that you hit, shake or scrape. The instrument pictured below can do all three of those. Use the balloon top, (or bottom of can if you don't have a balloon) for your tapping surface. Put your choice of filling in it to make a shaker, use a pencil, chopstick, or some other utensil to scrape rhythms on the side Three in One! Balloon bongo, shaker & guiro (scraper) Fill a clean can with your choice of filling, stretch a balloon over the top and secure with a rubber band or ponytail holder. Decorate if you want with paint, stickers, glue some fabric on it Materials: Body of instrument: Tin can. For a non-bumpy surface you could use an oatmeal container, or some other hollow container. To just make a shaker you could use plastic Easter eggs, a soda bottle, or even two cups taped together in the middle. Be creative! Filling: rice, beans, popcorn, pebbles, beads, etc. Or try something softer like jelly beans or erasers. You are the inventor!

Music,2nd-3rd 5-4to5-8,Week5 RHYTHM FUN WITH YOUR HOMEMADE INSTRUMENTS
Using the rhythm symbol cut-outs provided (or writing them by hand if you prefer), create an
original rhythm composition and play it on your homemade instruments. Use qor ryor Q or
h in the beat boxes on the next page to create 4-beat measures. Remember, each of these
rhythm symbols takes up one beat box, but the half note h takes up two beat boxes. Your
composition must be 8 measures long (32 beats), and you must use at least 3 different types
of notes or rests. If you'd like, you can include a tempo word at the beginning of your
composition to let the performer know what speed to play. Also, you can add dynamics symbols
so the performer knows the volume level(s) you want your piece played.
Here are some performance ideas: 1. Play your composition for your family. 2. Teach your
family how to read your composition and then have them play it. 3. Record yourself playing your
composition. Have fun!

Write in your tempo and dynamic markings. Tempo goes above the notes, dynamics go below the notes. You don't need to change your tempo at all (you can if you want, but no more than two tempos), and dynamics shouldn't be changed too many times.
