This website is an awesome resource for anyone who has a ukulele at home and is just beginning to play. Start with the "Easy Ukulele Songs in C" tab for super, super basic beginner songs. Also notice there is a tuner at the bottom of the page and a chord chart that is designed for smaller hands! Once you are starting to feel comfortable with those songs you can easily branch out into the tabs with pop songs. |

If you have a keyboard or piano at home you can find tons of tutorial videos on YouTube to help you learn to play some of your favorite songs. The videos function much like the video game Guitar Hero lighting up which keys you should play and for how long. To the right is just one example. There are millions of songs out there of every genre if you search for them! Just type "piano play along" into the search bar. If you have a specific song in mind the title to the search.

On your iPad, possibly in the self-service app, you should be able to find Piano Maestro. The app takes you through many beginner lessons and provides immediate feedback. You can use it alone or you can set it up to work with a piano or keyboard you have at home. It's a lot of fun working through the lessons and unlocking new levels!

The everyday objects around us have a rhythm to them. For example, say "Norway Knights" and clap for each syllable you say. You clap your hands three times. And the notes go quick-quick, slow. Or as we say in music class Do-Day Do. That means our rhythm is a pair of eighth notes and then a quarter note like the picture to the side.
Chose a theme and use the worksheet below to fill in words that have that rhythm. I did all of the examples with items from the ocean. You could choose any theme you want! Here are some ideas: soccer, nature, food, colors, instruments, etc. You can print the worksheet, draw it on your own paper, or take a screenshot and color on it with your iPad. |
