In Grade 2 we have been learning about how music is used in different parts of the World. We have used key concepts to analyse and understand some videos related to a Basque traditional instrument: the txalaparta.
Through these videos we have learned about form, by looking at the different materials instruments are made of. We have learned about perspective and the different points of view we all have. We have learned about change and how the sound changes depending on the materials we use. And we learned about causation by discussing the reasons why these instruments are different.
You can enjoy these videos again with your families and complete with them the listening guide attached if you like.
Don’t forget to leave a comment and let me know what you enjoyed about these videos:
Dear Mr. Fernando,
Thank you for posting these videos because I was home sick this week and missed this in class. I liked the videos very much, especially the one when they mixed all of the places and music together at the end!
Thanks for your message, Noga!! I’m so glad you could enjoy the videos at home despite not being in class. I hope you can join us next week!
Hi I like these three videos because I never know about this instrumen.thanks for sharing them on the blog. Matilde
Dear Mr. Fernando,
I liked the stone txalaparta the most because it
sounded nice and soft. I also liked the ice txalaparta
because it sounded beautiful.
