Tambourines and Quarter Notes!
This week in music class, we learned all about quarter notes and their rhythm values. Quarter notes recieve one beat each. In a 4/4 time signature, there can be four quarter notes in one measure. When counting this rhythm, we might say "one-two-three-four" repeatedly, or "tah-tah-tah-tah!"
We took a look at the quarter note symbol, and also practiced finding them on a coloring sheet. We also "tapped" them on our tambourines. Along with quarter notes, we learned the different sounds a tambourine can make (tapping/shaking) and practiced starting and stopping rhythm sounds together. Check out the pictures and video below!
QUESTIONS TO ASK YOUR CHILD
