Today is Music Listening Monday.
Each Monday I will focus on different genres or types of music. In the Manitoba Music Curriculum, students need to learn about other cultures, times and places. This includes music from the past and present, from our community, Manitoba, Canada and the world. There is so much music out there; unfortunately we cannot cover it all so it will be just a smattering of a variety of music. We briefly cover some of these outcomes in Music class. Because we cannot be together as a class, this is the perfect opportunity to focus on these outcome as we cannot develop some of our other group music making skills at this time.
Just a friendly reminder that students need to be aware that there are different kinds of music. We may not like it all, and this is perfectly okay, but we need to be respectful and have an open mind as we listen to and experience all kinds of music.
Please note that I have tried to carefully choose songs that are appropriate to listen to "at school". That means that the words of the song as well as the subject and content is "clean" and appropriate for children.
When you scroll down, you will be able to listen to some examples of Manitoban musicians who currently live in our province. These are just a few choices as there are many more making music in our province. They may not be as famous as the previous Manitoban musicians we learned about but they have received recognition and awards in Manitoba and Canada, specifically a Juno nomination or award. Maybe you will see one of these musicians walking down our Winnipeg streets, playing at a summer festival or small concert. Enjoy!
Your assignment:
Below you will find the name of the musician, title of the song, genre or type of music, awards they have won and a YouTube video of the musician performing. Click on the musician's name and it will bring you to more information about the musician. If you have your parent's permission, you can explore more music by the musicians on YouTube, Spotify or Apple Music. Enjoy!
1. Watch and listen to TWO or THREE Manitoban Musicians. (You can always come back another day and listen to more!)
2. In Seesaw or an email, tell me:
A)which musician you like the best from the ones you listened to
B)what style of music they perform

PS. If you read to the bottom of the post you will find out that my favourite song right now is Time Wanders On by The Small Glories. I like the banjo sound in this song and how fast her fingers are moving on the strings. I think the words of the song are beautiful and it makes me think of the prairies of Manitoba. :)
