Music Patterns and the iPad

smule appMrs. Holloway used the MadPad app to have her 3rd graders create music patterns. The students were given note cards that they put together and then used the app to play their music.  Mrs. Holloway had chosen the car sounds to represent the notes and as one child commented, “It sounds like New York!”

The students are eager to create more musical compositions with the other tools offered in the app!

Judy Holloway, our music teacher, celebrated International Dot Day by having students write “dot” music. They wrote musical patterns on a staff and shared with their classmates.

Mrs. Weth’s third grade class decided to write a song to be performed. Some children played instruments while others danced to the music. What fun!
