about the links...

From the titles of the links it's a little hard to figure out what some of them might be so I thought I would explain.

Classics for kids - EVERYTHING. Info, music, games, CD recommendations, all things classical.

Keeping Score - A product of the San Francisco Symphony that has lots of great info on some of the greatest classical composers. You can also watch some of their DVDs featuring Michael Tilson Thomas (MTT) for free online.

Kisstunes - A portal to write and record your own music with an online keyboard.

Santa Rosa Symphony - Not only do we have a world class symphony in Sonoma County, but they also have several children's orchestras.

SF Symphony Kids - Lot of interactive games and activities. You could explore this website for hours!

Hope you enjoy and have some fun. If you find any cool music links let me know and they just might appear on this site!

Beatles Mania

Well, music wouldn't be quite complete without a little Beatles to sing along with and tap our feet to. Second and third graders are learning the song from the Yellow Submarine called "All Together Now." Fourth and fifth graders are learning "Ob-la-di-ob-la-da." I love singing nonsense words!

All Together Now

One, two, three, four, can I have a little more?

Five, six, seven eight nine ten I love you

A, B, C, D, can I bring my friend to tea?

E, F G H I J, I love you

Sail the ship, chop the tree

Skip the rope, look at me

All together now...

Black, white, green, red

Can I take my friend to bed?

Green, red, yellow orange and blue, I love you

Ob-la-di-ob-la-da

Desmond has his barrow in the market place

Molly is the singer in a band

Desmond says to Molly, "Girl I like your face"

And Molly says this as she takes him by the hand

Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, brah!

Lala how the life goes on

Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, brah!

Lala how the life goes on

Desmond takes a trolley to the jewelry store

Buys and twenty carat golden ring

Takes it back to Molly waiting at the door

And as he gives it to her she begins to sing

In a couple of years they have built a home sweet home

With a couple of kids playing in the yard

Of Desmond and Molly Jones (ha ha ha ha)

Happy ever after in the market place

Desmond lets the children lend a hand

Molly stays at home and does her pretty face

And in the evening she's a singer in the band
