4th Grade is FINALLY beginning the long-awaited unit on Harmony. They have been waiting and waiting to start the ukuleles, and the Harmony unit is the unit that will take get them on the ukes! But first, we are learning different ways to create harmony (high and low pitches at the same time), starting with music that goes in a "round." Below, is a great example of a song in a round. The song is "Hey Ho, Nobody Home" and the melody is represented with three different colors on the video. The first "voice" begins the song, and when that first voice gets to the second phrase of the song, the second voice begins at the beginning. The same thing occurs with the third voice. This is called a round. The 4th grade then sang "Are you Sleeping" in a round to experience singing in a round, and creating harmony with voices, where some voices are singing higher parts while others are singing lower parts!
