June 1st:
#1 - You're the composer! This link will allow you to write your own brief piece of music! Look for the 'beginner' and 'advanced' tab and see if you can write and play a fun melody. Once you're done, try playing it on your own instrument! Unfortunately, this website only offers treble clef but those of you who play in bass clef can still write a piece and then pretend it's in bass clef. Have fun! https://www.classicsforkids.com/games/compose_your_own_music.php
#2 - Here's a fun way to help you play with a super steady beat. The more you play this game, the more you'll understand how crucial it is to play exactly on the beat. If you're successful at this, it means you already have a good and natural sense of tempo. If you get a lot of bummer buzzes, keep trying until your success rate increases. This will pay off when you play in any group! https://www.classicsforkids.com/games/rhythm_master.php
