Mr. Kemp is working on a project with 3rd graders.
The challenge: Can we improve the way we sing "America"?
The scores we can get:
1 = The student did not sing using their singing voice.
2 = The student got SOME of the notes right.
3 = The student got MOST of the notes right.
4 = Right on! The student got ALL the notes right.
5 = Advanced - Not only are all the notes right, but the student sings with extraordinary tone, rhythm, and phrasing. (Extremely hard to get.)
Here is what YOU do:
Click on each number to listen to a BENCHMARK example.
Especially listen to the #4 and #5 Benchmarks. These are
excellent examples of how you should be singing!
PRACTICE along with the #4 and #5 Benchmarks. See if
your voice can sing as nice as these Benchmarks!
KEEP A LOG - Write down which days you practice singing.
Mr. Kemp will collect these logs as part of this Singing Challenge.
