3rd Graders: Side Step


3rd Graders- A&B Blues


Tum Balalaika- The correct video!!







Alicia pointed out to me that one of the earlier videos was incorrect.  Somewhere Over the Rainbow was posted instead of Tum Balalaika!  Here is the correct video!  Thank you, Alicia!  And thank you Jaid for pointing out that I thanked the wrong person.  Or was that Alicia too....?  :)








All County Videos for Hine Ma Tov

 
 
In the videos, as we practiced on Monday, I sang all syllables as "lai" or "la."  We can add in lyrics once we have learned the melody.  The recording begins at the top of page three and stops at the end of the song.

All County- Tum Balalaika Recordings

Dear Alicia, Caroline, Jaid, Kate and Noa,

Since we won't have a lot of time in school to prepare I will be making videos of portions of your All County music to make it easier to practice at home. 

These videos are from Tum Balalaika, measures 25-41.  Practice your part with the video (either soprano or alto).  When you feel like you're a pro at it play the video for the other part and see if you can sing in harmony.  Do you best to ignore the back ground sounds of my son playing and trying to hit that high F in the soprano part!:)
