[lively music] - Hello, friends.

My name is Ms. Lewis and I'm here to teach you some music.

So at first I wanna start with my hello song.

So can I start and you echo after me?

Me first, and you second.

♪ Hello everybody, yes indeed [guitar strumming] Good job.

♪ Yes indeed ♪ Yes indeed ♪ Hello everybody, yes indeed ♪ Yes indeed, my friend [guitar strumming] Yes, excellent, friends.

Do you think we're ready to sing it together?

I think we are.

Let's try.

♪ And one, two, and hello everybody ♪ ♪ Yes indeed ♪ Yes indeed, yes indeed ♪ Hello everybody, yes indeed ♪ Yes indeed, my friend Now can we try singing that really, really quietly.

Really quietly.

Really quiet.

One, two, ready, and ... ♪ Hello everybody, yes indeed Good job.

♪ Yes indeed ♪ Yes indeed ♪ Hello everybody, yes indeed ♪ Yes indeed, my friend Excellent job, friends Now can we try singing it really, really loud?

Let's try it.

♪ Hello everybody, yes indeed Good job.

♪ Yes, indeed ♪ Yes, indeed ♪ Hello, everybody, yes indeed ♪ Yes, indeed, my friend So friends.

we just sang our hello song in two different ways.

We sang it quietly and we sang it loud and you did an excellent job.

But there are certain times where we have to be quiet and where we can be loud.

But how can we tell the difference?

Sometimes it's really hard to tell.

I know when I was younger, when I was your age and I was in school, I wanted to be really, really loud all the time because I was so excited to be there.

But it wasn't the right time to be loud.

And sometimes I got confused.

♪ When you're awake and someone else is asleep ♪ ♪ Be quiet ♪ Don't make a peep ♪ But if you're stuck in a tree ♪ ♪ Be as loud as you can be ♪ And if you hurt your toe ♪ Let us all know ♪ Quiet ♪ Or loud ♪ When the teachers talking ♪ Don't run around and shout ♪ And when you're in the library ♪ ♪ Don't rock out ♪ But if you're on a rollercoaster ♪ ♪ You get to scream so loud ♪ And when you sing your favorite song ♪ ♪ Step right up and sing you're proud ♪ ♪ Mi, mi, mi, mi, mi ♪ Quiet ♪ Or loud ♪ When Perry's talking to Tom ♪ Don't bang on the drum ♪ And when Ned's pushing you ♪ It's okay for you to yell ♪ Be quiet while you're at a show ♪ ♪ Don't grab a horn and start to blow ♪ ♪ Quiet ♪ Or loud Now that we know certain situations where we have to be quiet and where we have to be loud, what about when we wanna play around with our sounds?

When we wanna get from really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really soft to really, really loud!

And we wanna grow our sound.

Kind of like how a plant grows, right?

When a plant grows, does a plant grow from a seed to a big tree in a day?

Does it happen in a day?

No.

It takes a while for the plant to grow.

And let's play around with our voice and have it take a while for our sound to grow.

But there is a word for that.

It's a big word.

It's called crescendo.

Can everybody say crescendo?

Now let's grow our sound like a plant.

Listen to me.

This is what it would sound like when we're growing our sound like a plant.

♪ Crescendo ♪ Crescendo ♪ From soft to loud ♪ From soft to loud ♪ Crescendo ♪ Crescendo ♪ From soft to loud ♪ From soft to loud Yes friends, do you think you can try that with me?

All we have to do is sing crescendo.

Soft and grow our sound like a plant, let's try that together.

♪ Crescendo Good job.

♪ Crescendo ♪ From soft to loud ♪ From soft Good job, grow the sound ♪ ♪ Crescendo ♪ Crescendo ♪ From soft to loud ♪ From soft to loud Good job.

Now what about when we wanna play around and go in the opposite direction and ungrow ourself.

Kind of like a plant growing in reverse, right?

That's getting from really, really, really loud to really, really, really soft.

That's called decrescendo.

Can everybody say decrescendo?

So how would a decrescendo look if we were a plant?

We'd look something like this.

The plants already grown, right?

So it looks like ♪ Decrescendo ♪ Decrescendo ♪ From loud to soft ♪ From loud to soft ♪ Decrescendo ♪ Decrescendo ♪ From loud to soft ♪ From loud to soft Do you think you can try that with me, friends?

Let's try to ungrow our plants.

So you're a plant.

Ungrow the plant, loud to soft.

♪ Decrescendo ♪ Decrescendo ♪ From loud to soft ♪ From loud to soft ♪ Decrescendo ♪ Decrescendo ♪ From loud to soft ♪ From loud to soft Friends, I really hope you had fun with me doing our crescendos and decrescendos and learning the difference between soft and loud.

So I think it's just about time for us to say goodbye.

But before we do that, I just want you to echo me and let's just keep in our brains what we learned today.

This is my talking voice.

I use it every day.

This is loud voice.

I use it when I play!

This is my whisper voice, I use it when I'm soft.

♪ This is my singing voice, I use it to show off ♪ Excellent.

So if you ever forget, just remember that little song there.

And since we are, we started with soft and loud.

Let's end with soft and loud, friends.

So first, I want us to you to echo my goodbye song, super, super soft.

And then we're gonna end loud with a bang.

♪ Goodbye, everyone ♪ Goodbye, everyone ♪ Goodbye, everyone ♪ It's time to say goodbye Now, loud.

♪ Goodbye, everyone ♪ Goodbye, everyone Good job.

♪ Goodbye, everyone ♪ It's time to say goodbye ♪ It's time to say goodbye ♪ Bye everybody, until next time.
