4th and 5th graders learned an arrangement to the popular song by Gotye, "Somebody that I Used to Know" on the Orff instruments and ukuleles (from here).
Hi Karen! Yes it is more than okay for you to show your students the video. I got the idea from the link in the post above, but substituted the alto xylophone chords for ukuleles. The rhythm backing track was actually just a track I found on my classroom keyboard, but I can't remember the name of the track. I just found one quickly on the keyboard settings. If you have a keyboard it should have lots of different rhythm tracks on it. I hope this helps! :-)
Sandi, that sounds great! Those are some talented kids!
ReplyDeleteThat's pretty cool!
ReplyDeleteWhere did you find the rhythm backing track. I'd like to do this with my 4s for our Spring Concert. Is it okay if I show my students your video?
