Days of the Week Project Update and Resume

Hey FLI Choir,

 Here is the Days of the Week song with updated lyrics.  Thanks for all the ideas based on what you've been up to.  I couldn't get in everything as there are only 7 days, but got a lot.  Yes, this is a rather goofy project - but...why not?!  

 Also, it's not too late to suggest lyrics. I could totally switch something out!

 The Days of the Week Song

 Chorus
Domingo, Lunes, Martes, Miércoles 
Jueves, Viernes, y Sábado (x2)

 Verse
Domingo I took a three-hour nap
Lunes I had my first zoom call
Martes I binged The Tiger King all day
Miércoles I baked banana bread

 Chorus (x2)

 Verse
Jueves Oh my! My TikTok's going viral
Viernes That puzzles wayy too big
Sábado I'm still stuck at home, oh Coronavirus, when will this be over???

 Chorus (x2) - end "sábado" on a higher note
Instructions
Leif is recording the piano part on SoundTrap.  I have an educational free trial of it for 120 days.  Once he is done I will post it on Google Classroom for you to record yourself singing the whole song.  You can follow along with a track I create.  I'll delete mine after I have all of yours.  Please use no effects on your voice and sing through the entire song using headphones so that sound does not bleed from track to track.  And definitely do not mess with any tracks other than your own.
Also, if you click the microphone icon you can do a test of your volume to avoid distortion in your recording.  I highly recommend doing this.  There is also an option at the bottom for a metronome if that is helpful to you.  T=115.

I will do a little tutorial in our class next week, and we will also practice the full song.

I'm super open to somebody laying down other tracks as well.  Hand percussion like claps and snaps, a hand drum like a djembe adding some rhythm, etc.  Just don't be offended if I don't use the track when editing it all together.

I will likely make the verses solos or duets for some variety based on all the submissions.

Practice
Here is a recording to sing along with to practice with all the words:

(One small detail:  I inconsistently sometimes sing "y" before the word miercoles.  Don't do that.  The only "y" is after viernes.)

Resume
After we are done practicing and getting to know SoundTrap we will talk a little bit about your next FLI assignment, building a resume.  Perhaps some of you have done this already, and some of you have not.  In class we will discuss what makes an effective resume, and then you will write one for yourself.

Use the same meeting link as before: meet.google.com/hcf-cgdp-zjz

Greetings FLI Choir! I look forward to starting this journey of online classes with you.  I've created this blog for easy communication.  I plan on sending you a Remind text whenever there is a new post, but you can always check it yourself by going to  https://flichoir.blogspot.com/    In case you aren't on the Remind, text @flichoi to 81010 (note that there is no "r" in @flichoi). Students and parents are welcome to do this.  There's a lot in this first post, but hopefully it will give you a complete understanding of choir will look like this next month. Individual Musical Activities/Video Thank you to those of you who have been emailing me videos of your individual musical endeavors.  Keep them coming! Perhaps you are considering making a video, but don't know what to do.  Here are some ideas: 1. Sing a song.  You can use a Karaoke track, sing a cappella, sing with your brother/sister/mom/dad, or accompany yourself 2. Play an instrument.  Perhaps

FLI Choir Session April 14, 2020

Greetings FLI Choir Students, Tomorrow morning we will be meeting at 9am-10am on Google Meet. Link to meeting :   meet.google.com/hcf-cgdp-zjz  Discussion During our session we will talk about the effects of social media on us as individuals, and on our society.  Think about ways that social media benefits you and your community.  Also think about what might be a dark side to social media.  Together we will brainstorm ways to be smart about usage to have a balanced life - especially during this pandemic when we have hours of extra time on our hands. If we have time I will also teach you a short song. :)  If not, then it will happen next week. Reflections I so enjoyed reading your reflections on resilience and about your experiences at events at Lincoln HS.  I know it's sometimes annoying to have little assignments due, but it is very important for us as humans to spend time to reflect on our experiences.  Writing is a great way to organize our thoughts and even make
