Welcome to Ponderosa Music!
|
Hello! I'm Mrs. Bannon and I'm your Ponderosa music teacher. Even though music class looks really different this year, we're still going to have a lot of fun making music together.
We can't sing, but we can listen to music, move to it, play instruments safely, chant with our speaking voices, play games, and learn about music history. I can't wait to see you in music class! Ask your teacher when your two-week rotation is coming up!

I love to travel! This is at the flower-filled estate of the painter Claude Monet in Giverny, France. I also got to see the water lilies from his paintings!

Virtual Music Rooms - Fall 2020
Sometimes this year, we'll use this website for lessons, especially if we have to learn online again at some point. Let's get familiar with virtual learning with some virtual classrooms, and even a virtual tour!
Remote Learning
I still have all my remote lessons up from Spring 2020 at the link below!
I Would Love to Hear Your Music!
Do you know a folk song, lullaby, or traditional tune from your culture or country? If so, I would love for you to share it with us!
I want to give students an array of musical experiences, and that could include something from you!
Please contact me if you would like to sing, play, or dictate a song you'd like me to teach in class!

K-2 Songs
That's a Mighty Pretty Motion That's a mighty pretty motion, dee-di-dee, That's a mighty pretty motion, dee-di-dee, That's a mighty pretty motion, dee-di-dee, Rise, sugar, rise! Bee, Bee Bumblebee Bee, bee bumblebee, Stung a man upon his knee, Stung a pig upon the snout, I declare that you are out! Old King Glory Old King Glory on the mountain, The mountain was so high, It nearly touched the sky. And the 1st one, the 2nd one, the 3rd one follow me! Lucy Locket Lucy Locket lost her pocket, Kitty Fisher found it. Not a penny was there in it, Only ribbon 'round it. Bate, Bate Bate, bate chocolate Con arroz y con tomate. Uno, dos, tres - cho, Uno, dos, tres - co, Uno, dos, tres - la, Uno, dos, tres - te, Chocolate, chocolate, chocolate, chocolate! |

Tarzan the Monkey Man Tarzan the monkey man, Swinging from a rubber band. Splish, splash, take a bath, The color is what? Our Old Sow Our old sow is getting very fat, Kimo, komo, keemo, Three-foot-two across the back, Kimo, komo, keemo, Hand me down my watch and chain, Kimo, komo, keemo, Goin' to see my Sarah Jane, Kimo, komo, keemo. Rabbit and the Possum Rabbit and the Possum goin' up the hill, Rabbit knew that Possum had a forty dollar bill. Rabbit said, "Possum, let's play Seven Up." Rabbit grabbed the money, but he's scared to pick it up. Rabbit hit the Possum, Possum fell. Rabbit grabbed the money and said, "Fare ye well, fare ye well, fare ye well." Bickle Bockle Bickle Bockle, blue bottle, Fishes in the sea. If you want a partner, Just choose me!
