Hi & Welcome to Mr. A's 5th grade sound page.

During the year students will explore, experience, compose & manipulate sound through such topics as:

  2. beginning to explore the use of digital recording technology,
    • microphones & good microphone techniques,
    • Digital vs Analog recording,
    • how sound is recorded and amplified,
  3. exploring music software (Groovy Music, GarageBand & Audacity),
  4. composing, performing & recording lots of original music,
  5. learning about, playing  and improvising on percussion instruments.
  6. learning & playing with melodic instruments
    • Woodwinds (flute, clarinet, saxophone, recorder, etc.)
    • Brasses (trumpets, trombones, french horns, baritone, etc.)
    • Strings (violin, String Bass, Guitar, etc.)
  7. Reel-to-Reel vs Digital Recording effects
