Melody Madness!

Last week and this week 2nd through 5th grade students learned a new pitch. At Whittier we label the pitches do, re, mi, fa, so, la, and ti. Ask your student what pitch they learned about! Though they have been experiences the pitch through listening and singing activities this week will be the first week we label the pitch, identifying it's location in the scale and it's hand symbol. Here is a visual with all the hand symbols and pitches. So far these are the pitches each grade has learned. K- has not learned any pitch names yet 1- so and mi 2- so, mi, la, and their new pitch do 3- do, re, mi, so, la and their new pitch high do (do') 4- do, re, mi, so, la, low so, low la, high do and their new pitch fa 5- have learned all pitches are are now being introduced to the minor scale (la to la instead of do to high do) At this link are some 5th graders singing the song "Ah Poor Bird" playing Orff (xylophone) instruments: Ah Poor Bird
