Monthly Music

     At Brentwood Elementary monthly music concepts are taught across all grade levels. This year students are focusing on monthly composers, musical instruments and music concepts.

Weekly Music Ideas

Ukulele String Name Competition:

Ukuleles have 4 strings. The strings need to be tuned for the instrument to make beautiful sounds. Each string has a letter name and are usually tuned to the letter with an app or a piano. Sometimes it is hard to remember the letter names and the order they are in. G-C-E-A

Most people know about the letter names of music staff lines by using the sentence "Every Good Boy Does Fine," this helps people remember  E-G-B-D-F. 

***I would like students and families to help create a sentence to help remember the ukulele string letters and order. G-C-E-A. ***

Examples:

George Can Eat Ants

Great Children Eat Apples

Have a great idea? Send your ukulele sentence to your teacher or Mrs. Bennett by email or in the blog on this website. I will make a list of all your great ideas and then choose a winner. The winning sentence will be used to tune our ukuleles when we get back to the classroom. laura.bennett@mead354.org
