Hello everyone,
Here is a suggested way to create music at home using your computer! These 2 websites are recommended for grades 4-6. 'Soundtrap' and 'Bandlab' are both free online DAWs (Digital Audio Workstations). A DAW allows you to create songs by multi-tracking. Multi-tracking means you might record one thing (a drum), and then add a second or third thing (notes or lyrics) on top. The DAW will put them all together, allowing you to mix and edit each part separately! You don't have to be an expert to make great sounding music using technology! You also don't need any physical instruments as many of these DAWs have digital instruments you can use (but try recording your own voice through the computer's microphone for fun!).

Hello Sherwood friends, I hope everyone enjoyed the outdoors yesterday and maybe even had a visit with some family or friends on a deck/yard. I was very happy to be able to visit my parents in their yard yesterday, to sit and have a nice long conversation. I have been learning to use an app called "Acapella Maker". It is fairly easy and allows you to record yourself playing 2, 3, 4 or even 5 parts together. You can try it too! Here is what I created. You can find the app on the app store or play store for a phone/tablet. It is free and you can create videos up to 1 minute long. I recommend using headphones. You can even use homemade or found instruments from your house to create a rhythm pattern! I used my ukulele to play the chords: C, G, Am and F. Then I used the C pentatonic scale (with an added B) to make up a little solo. Here is a video of the scale I used: I can't wait until we are back together making music! Hi everyone, I hope you had fun checking out some ways to make homemade instruments from Ms. White this week! If you haven't checked out her post, head over and take a look! I've got something in the works to share next week with a way you can use those instruments! Since today is Friday, I thought I would share something you can get up and dance to! This video, by PEI's band "The East Pointers" was released this week. A catchy song with some feel-good dancing. It is off their recent album Yours to Break, which is full of great songs to move to! Turn it up, make some space and have fun! You can also find their full album on their Youtube page below! (I think Country Cable might be my favourite track!)
