ClickSchooling

Just thought I would share this - I have recently subscribed to this online
free email service called "Clickschooling" where you get one cool site to go
to each day. I have been quite impressed with some of the offerings lately.
Warm regards,
Hilary

Hi! It's Monday, March 14, 2005 and time for Math at ClickSchooling!
Recommended Website:
PhilTulga.com: Music Through The Curriculum
http://www.philtulga.com/resources.html
Now, THIS is a real find! I stumbled upon this site quite by accident, and
I'm so glad I did -- you will be too! :) Phil Tulga is a professional
musician and music instructor. He has developed educational programs that
weave music through the curriculum in almost every subject. He presents
those programs to students in public and private schools in Sacramento,
California and is available for private groups and organizations as well. As
a complement to his music programs, Phil has developed a series of FREE,
interactive music activities that are available at his website in math,
science, reading comprehension and much more.
When you get to the site you will see a menu that includes:
*MATH AND MUSIC -- Phil has taken popular math manipulatives and enhanced
them with rhythm and music. You'll find:
-Unifix Cube Drum Machine -- This shows students how famous composers have
used repeating patterns to create music. Students can make their own rhythm
or drum patterns with popular Unifix cubes.
-Musical Fraction Bars -- Mathematicians like Pythagoras discovered that
musical pitches are derived from fractions. In this activity, students
compose and play their own songs using Musical Fraction Bars. Not only that,
you'll find instructions for how to build a homemade musical instrument that
is based on these fractions.
-Pattern Block Rock -- Song melodies are patterns of short and long sounds.
In this activity, students compose and play their own rhythmic songs using
geometric shapes.
-Fraction Pie Rhythms -- This activity shows how musical note durations are
organized into fractions, e.g., two half notes equal one whole note. Compose
and play your own rhythms using pie fractions instead of standard musical
notation.
-Morse Code Music -- Listen to Phil as he plays patterns on his telephone
using short and long sounds. These patterns are very much like International
Morse Code - a method of encoding each letter and number into short and long
sounds called dots and dashes. In this activity, you can compose and play
your own rhythmic patterns using International Morse Code.
After math, you'll find additional activities including:
*HOMEMADE INSTRUMENTS -- Find directions for making your own panpipes, water
bottle xylophone, tubular Glockenspiel, and an origami popper!
*MATH, SCIENCE AND SOUND ACTIVITIES -- Explore 12 different musical
activities to learn about sound waves, frequencies, and even find out what
frequencies animals can hear.
*READING COMPREHENSION -- Unbelievable as it may seem, Phil uses musical
sound to teach sequences to improve reading skills, and he teaches
inferences with riddles, picture puzzle predictions, and uses "Peter and the
Wolf" to teach musical themes and storyline components complete with story
maps!
*READING FLUENCY -- Get Phil's tips for parents on how to encourage a love
of reading in your child. Then, use the innovative "Cucumber Pickle Machine"
to show your kids how to make rhythmic meters by combining two and three
syllable words!
*PATTERN ACTIVITIES -- You won't believe this! Musical sequencing with
Fibonacci numbers and Pi! Not only that, play "Name That Tune" or learn
about music and the "Mozart Effect."
This site gets a ClickSchooling Award for the best use of technology in
helping kids learn!
