May Activity from Music Room Book 6

Bushfire Press
MUSIC ROOM book 6

(upper primary)

We have had a great response to Music Room Book 6 - the first of the upper school levels. Exciting new features have been added, such as full-length (over 60 min) DVD of musicians from the different musical genres in the book, an exciting music quiz game for the class (MusikWizz) and extended background and links on our website.

The new Music Room has 7 modules, covering reggae, Celtic, Pacific Island, latin, blues, jazz, gospel and MusikWizz to finish the year!

If you don't have it yet, why not try out a couple of the activities from the book.
We have a new one this month ...

WHAT EXCUSE WOULD YOU USE FOR BEING LATE FOR SCHOOL?

This month's activity has the best excuse ever - your students will love it!

It's a crazy, wonderful song called 'Late for School Blues' and it comes from the 'BLUES CHANGES' module of the book. This song is built on the famous 'Bo Diddley beat', a rhythm developed by African American blues legend, Bo Diddley.

You can find out more about Bo - and about the blues -
at the web support pages for Music Room 6

The vocal track and projectable lyrics chart are available with this activity.
We have a PDF chart from the Music Room Book 6 Data CD-ROM with the words - print it or project it and an MP3 of the audio track.

And of course we have the "REGGAE RHYTHMS" activity from a couple of months ago.

You will find links to both activities at www.bushfirepress.com/musicroom



Enjoy!
