Popular Music
Note to parents: I’m sure you’ve notice by now… I’m careful when selecting videos. If I’ve missed any questionable content, please let me know in the comment section. I’ve left out sample four completely, because I couldn’t find a way to present it appropriately!
Week Twenty-Seven
Approximately 25 minutes
Read playful narration “Pop is…” text.
- Encourage your pre-reader to try to repeat the song and sing along. Being silly with your kids is a great way to catch their interest.
- If you have multiple learners you can make a game of it and see who can give the best performance by family vote
Watch the What is Popular Music? video.
Week Twenty-Eight
Approximately 25 minutes
Read “POP” history text.
Watch The History of Popular Music video.
Listen to Sample One: “I’m a Believer” by the Monkees (pop rock)
Listen to Sample Two: “Vogue” by Madonna (electronic/dance-pop)
Listen to Sample Three: “What Makes You Beautiful” by One Direction (pop rock)
Week Twenty-Nine
Approximately 20 minutes
Watch What is Commercial Pop? video.
Take time to discuss with children how popular culture effects your family and young people as a whole. It might be a great time to explain to your kids exactly why certain aspects of pop culture aren’t welcome at home!
Listen to Sample Five: “Happy” by Pharrel William (funk/soul pop)
Week Thirty
Approximately 20 minutes
Watch What is a Verse, Chorus, and Bridge? video.
Listen to Sample Six: “Can’t Stop the Feeling” by Justin Timberlake (disco pop)
Take the time to figure out which part of the song is verse, chorus, and bridge. Listen to the song a few times as needed.
Alternately, you can use one of your child(ren)’s favorite songs for this diagnostic process instead of sample six.
Please tell us about your experience in the comment section. Stay tuned for the ninth installment: Rhythm & Blues (Weeks 31-32).
Happy Homeschooling!
Love,
