Fourth Grade Music Mrs. Trude's classes (Gales, Childs, Stockard and Dillard)
NEW: Have you seen our HFE chorus video of "A Million Dreams" from The Greatest Showman? You won't want to miss it... here it is: HFE Chorus Video
Here's a video that music teachers in Fulton County made for all of you, our beloved students. You'll see me (Mrs. Trude) in the second row, left side. Enjoy! "Here Comes the Sun" or try this link.
Last 2 weeks of school:
Complete any of the past assignments that you have not done, OR:
Open this page for fun music activities that I have found for you that are on the internet.
Week of May 4-8: (last week for new lessons)
Option One: Recorder option
Some of you have been practicing the song that you chose from the recorder book. For this option, you will make a video of yourself playing it and submit it to me on FlipGrid. This will not be graded, since I was not able to work with you in person for the last few weeks. Other students will not be able to see your video. I will view it and give you feedback. I'd love to hear what you can do!
Here is a video of me playing the 10 recorder songs on the piano, so you can see if you are on the right track with your song.
