Wisconsin School of the Air; Let's sing; Journeys in music land; 10

The Wisconsin School of the air presents let's sing with Professor Warren Waldron. Seemed like solo singing send songs no matter what they look like change up tempo you John is announcing that singing and someone close and I'll send any message you share with those songs well slowed down for the day. You say to him go on the way you high boys and girls as I promised last week we're going to have a song fest today. We're going to try to sing so hard that I hope you wear the notes right off the face of the page and you know the way I've heard some of you boys and girls sing lately I do believe that it's possible for you to do it. We've all met the Christmas carols because well you know you just might get into the Christmas spirit so much that you will be ready for springtime. I'll let you in on a little secret though. I'm ready for spring. How about you.

Now there's something else I'm ready for. And that's a song. So let's join in singing Little David on page 17 this Karen little introduction. Watch the repeats now we don't repeat the last verse ready began. Do you think you will open the gate. The Los you say will fail over and they lose and will loose. Will you still

think they will pick a loaf. Do they owe you. By the way teachers do as last week. And put those three measures on the blackboard that you had one with quarter notes one with eighth notes and one what happed notes and then put another staff up there with nothing on it. All right and by the time we sing our next two songs we should be ready for that. Let's go ahead and do some more. Land Of Hope And Glory I think is

a wonderful song you heard it played on the trumpet but the music sounds fine no matter how it's produced. But I think Land Of Hope And Glory will sound better if you're sitting up in your faces show that wonderful patriotic spirit that is ours so turn to page 24 and let's do Land Of Hope And Glory and we don't. Sick. You say.

The EAC Louie to a guy in yeah I am. A guy in a way. Well we're off to a good start. I hope you're not tired Gyp because you have lots of singing to do. Let's turn to our little little song. And today I think you know the song well enough let's do just what the book says and let the boy sing the first verse and the girls the second. And when everyone comes on the chorus in fact I'd like to have the boys join me and do the second part and let the

girls sing with Mrs. Walbridge on the first part. When you got to the course. Let's have a little introduction. That's. Right Stan. Everybody. Knows.

Isn't that a lovely song. Well I think at the time the festivals roll around and you're going to hear about them again in a few minutes when the end of festivals roll around you're going to know lots and lots of songs well let's keep going that's Turn to page 5. And just the second

verse of song for a child is singing. Page 5 ready. And remember when you get the script immediately for major 20 down to the second ending measure 25. It's. A was. Do.

Was. It was fine we're going to get so many songs in today. I hope we can get almost all that we know. Well sing and rejoice on page 26 is a wonderful song. I've heard that some of you boys and girls are even doing this particular song on other programs separate programs page twenty six sing and rejoice. Again that's just the first in the last verse. And when it comes to the first choir I divide up the room into two parts and the first choir of the day will be Mrs. Woods and the second choir will be my group. And let's make it the first time you come in softly and sing it softly in the second time you come in just a little bit louder. And the third time even a little bit fuller Yeah. I never got a little introduction. Saying Oh. We'll.

Heard a. Rail. Yes. Yeah well let's relax just a little bit with some music reading. This will give you an

opportunity to not only relax but to do some review as well. Now let's quickly review our quarter notes that we had last week. And why don't we begin by taking our right hand and tapping some measures of four or four times together. Here we go. Now let's tap for. Ready. Let's get that hand up in the air and I'll bring it down. Ready begin. Grown to three. Keep it growing or on through. For now let's fill up the measure with those quarter notes look up at the board and let's La-La the quarter notes how they're going. As we have said before there's going to be one quarter note for every beat. So here we go. That's Peter measure first. Already a lot. Very well known as you found out last week a quarter note gets one

beat and there's one for every quarter no four of them to a measure. Now let's put in some eighth notes. Remember just twice as many people eating on the pie so that each one gets half as much. So the notes come by twice as fast. Did you follow that. Remember our story about the pie that when you have twice as many people at the table eating each one gets half as many half as much pie which means that the if you translate that into eighth notes these eighth notes come by twice as fast because they get just half as much time. Now let's be the measure of four four. And then that's the eighth notes because there be two of them now to be. Here we go one major. Ready begin. La la la la la. Very well not a half notes. Let's go back. We just have mother and father at the table eating the pie so that they each get a lot. Don't think oh let's say that the boys and girls of have gone out for dinner someplace else. All right

now let's see what we can do about half notes each half note is going to get how many beats class did you say two very good because that's exactly what happens why a half note is equal to two quarter to quarter notes and a four quarter note gets one beat and two of them fit into a half note than a half note gets two beats. Now let's be the measure of four four time and measure four four time and fill up this measure then with half notes and we'll do two measures. Ever go beat one first. Ready. Half notes. Not very well as I promised you now today we're going to increase our knowledge of notes by studying whole notes. Let's add one more measured teacher and put a whole note in it. Let's just take that extra measure you put up there and put a whole note in it remembering our talk about the pilot last week you'll have little difficulty seeing now the relative value between these notes.

Here we have one person getting the whole pie would not be delightful if it were pie. That's a lot of pie. And it takes a while to eat the pie doesn't it. I know some of you think you could eat it right away but it does take a little time. So if you translate that into music it takes longer to sound the whole note. Our measure is full with just one note. Now if that's true how many beats will this class will this note receive class for. I hope you said for if you did you were correct. Now let's see how much sound is made for a note that endures four whole beats. Listen to this. I'm going to do one for you. How about that's a note that's awfully long isn't it. Full of sound. Now I would like for you to do this.

We're going to start with a whole load and do two measures of a whole note and then we're going to do two measures of a quarter note two measures of an eighth note whole note half note quarter note eighth note. Can you remember that whole note two measures half note two measures quarter note two measures an eighth note so that you can find out just how these sounds are. Here we go now will be to measure first and be on your toes. Don't make a mistake. Begin notes the notes. No it's la la la la la la la la la. Now that should give you an idea of the relative value of all these knowns. Next week we're going to hear two new songs

and I want to give you an assignment. You should be able with all the music training you've had to do to follow this assignment out pretty well I think I'm going to tell you only that our new songs are both in the key of E flat. Do you remember how to find dough don't you. Right now I'm going to tell you where dough is and you find out what the signature is E-flat. And one is in six eight time and the other is in three four time or a meter. I'll give you one more clue. They are on adjacent pages that is they are right next to one another. See if you can find them. Well as a matter of fact I'll give you one more clue. Both of them are outdoor songs does that help. All right now you see whether or not you can find those songs for next week because we're going to have two new songs next week. Now let's get back let's get back to our singing that's two you're trying to get as many songs as we can in today. Let's take green grow the lilacs on page 20 and do just two verses. Here we go Miss Gunn. And now here's a word from your announcer.
