SONG OF THE WEEK

"One moment one people"

Actually some of you are
familiar with this song...

​Listen to the song
Follow the beat.
Practice three times with the performance track.


Challenge

Practice once with the backing track.

How did it go?

Vivaldi based each of his The Four Seasons concertos on a set of sonnets (poems) 
Listen to Spring,
Can you hear the sound of nature?

Challenge

Try to follow the score
up to minute 3.51


Remember

Each dot is a single sound.

​

Listen carefully to how the music changes when there is only one musician playing (solo)
 
CREATIVE PROJECT


Antonio Vivaldi was inspired by nature to write his violin concertos.

Get inspiration from these beautiful sunny days  and write a short song about Spring.

You can write the lyrics and create the melody after, make sure you record it (even on the phone) so you don't forget your melody

​I hope you enjoyed this week's  music blog!
