Music in the late dacedes

                                                  Music

Kia Ora readers, welcome to my blog, if you have not been on my blog this is where I post most of my work and achievements. This is another blog post about Music, if you have not checked out my other blogs make sure you go check them out. As I said this blog is about Music and which we have been working on for a few periods now. Our task was to make a presentation about the genres of music in the past decades. I choose to do this with a buddy, thanks Sadie. We recently got up to the 1960s. 

My favorite year would be the 1950s because I love the genres of songs back then and one of my favorite songs that I have heard before but had no idea what the name of the album is Elvis Presley-Hound dog. When it was played on the TV I could tell that I've heard it somewhere but I did not know who sang it. Thanks to Mrs. Allan and her music taste I found out who he was.  Elvis Presly known as an American singer who released his Album in 1956, the album is called Hound Dog. 

Throughout this class, I have learned the different genres of music, and artist that has released. I have learned more than I expected through this class.  Thank you so much for taking your time to read my blog, make sure to go check out my other blogs. Drop a comment if you have a favorite decade or a favorite type of music. Thank you!

The ukulele

                                                 The Ukulele

Kia Ora readers welcome to my blog. If you have not been on my page, this is where I put all my work and achievements. For this lesson, we have been looking towards instruments and how to play them and we have been recently learning about them. This class is called counting the beat and it is Tuhura.In our recent class of counting the beat, we have been learning how to make music using the things around us such as chairs, desks, rulers, pens, etc. For this lesson and last week's, lesson Mrs. Allan had bought out some ukuleles for us to play and use, this week we are going to share with you some of the things we learned while playing the ukulele.

The ukulele is a smaller version of the guitar, it would normally have a wooden body with nylon strings, and holding those nylon strings would be a long wooden neck. They are different types of ukuleles out there made of different things. They are also different sizes of ukuleles. They are certain types of chords that go with the ukulele to be able to play it. Watching someone play the guitar and ukulele may look easy but for me, it is a little bit complicated. Here are parts of the ukulele.....

For this class, I have learned new chords of the ukulele and I have learned how to hold a ukulele the correct way. and That has been the end of our lesson, thank you for taking your time to read my blog, don't forget to comment if you learned something educational through this post. Don't forget to go check out my other post. Drop a comment if you have any fun facts or anything to say, thank you. I will be posting more throughout the last few days of this term.

Music

                                            🎶Music🎶

Kia Ora readers welcome back to my blog, for a few lessons we have been working on the topic of music, they are different types of music such as classic, pop, rap, opera, rock, jazz, country, and many more. Mrs. Allan Fletcher has given us the task to make music using the facilities around us. This was called stomp, stomp basically making music using the facilities around you. This helps you think more creatively and pushes you out of your comfort zone. 

We were all given the choice to choose the group to work in and work with, I worked in a group of 3 including me and my 2 close friends. Our facilities were a ruler, 2 pairs of scissors, a tissue box and a sit (stool). We all had to come up with an ORIGINAL beat. We all tried to join into the beat to make it sound on the beat and make it sound good. And yes I do admit that our teacher did help with like 99% of the time. Thank you, Miss 😊.

                                              Cup song
Hello all, with the subject of music, we were also given the task to learn the cup song, it looks so easy when people do the cup song but it's very complicated to learn it. It took me a while to learn the cup song, and it took me a while to stop doing it. I don't know why I was never taught the cup song at camp. There is a common rhythm that I followed. 

Thank you for reading my blog ;)
