The Rainbow FishBy: Marcus Pfister Sharing And Melody
Free-Style - On a keyboard on the black keys, Play what you think the Sparkly scales sound like.
Sharing Activity • Volunteer to be the “Rainbow Fish” • Volunteer has all of the scales. • As the scales are handed out, students who have scales can begin to play on the keyboard on a specific pitch
Getting Louder in Music • While still playing on the black keys, play louder as I point at an area with more fish.
Getting Softer • Now play quieter as I point to an area with less fish
Crescendo • When you see this sign in music, it is just like adding more fish. You get louder when you see a “Crescendo”
Decrescendo • When you see this sign in music, it is just like taking away fish. You get softer when you see a “Decrescendo”
Let’s Try It! • Try to play this music. Start really soft and then follow the markings
