Here at school, we are so proud of you for continuing with your students’ learning. The following musical links and project ideas have been collected by Ms. Olsen, for remote learning opportunities. They are based on the Visual and Performing Arts Standards for California. I hope you find them to be fun and engaging. If you have found great musical sites that you would like to share with others, my email is: lolsen@lakeport.k12.ca.us.

When you are finished, please participate in this 3 Question Music Attendance Parent Survey: https://forms.gle/DewTBSu21d5Xo9727

 Musical Project Ideas 

Week 1: Research a genre, or style of music, that you enjoy or that interests you. Alternatively, ask a family member what style of music they liked when they were your age. 

Week 2: Do your report, on a style of music, alone or together as a family. Present your findings in a drawing, collage, or report.

Week 3: Break down a favorite song. Name the song and the artist or band that wrote or performed the song. Provide the lyrics, or words, to the song. What do they mean to you? Be specific and tell why? Do you like the song because of the lyrics, the music, or both? Again, be specific and tell why you like this song.
