Through out this past week of learning the ukulele, I have been focused on learning with and from my peers, playing games and sharing our progress. Outside of this, I have been trying to find music games for children to help me learn, and create a music resource package for when I am in practicum. Thanks to my L2P teaching days this semester, I learned about Music play Online, which I could not find more helpful. Seeing how the kids are engaged playing the music games is great. It has also been extremely helpful for me to listen into the students music class to help me learn different keys, notes, and they sound on different instruments. On this website, you can create a musical staff, and select which instrument you want the website to play. When I do this, I put in the notes of the song I am learning, to break it down step by step and hear what it sounds like correctly.
While practicing strumming, I was using the photo above as guidance. Hearning the lyrics also helps keep me on track!
The above link is a video of me practicing my strumming. Although it is not perfect, I have come a long way!
