Seeds of Change Latin Vibe Song Companion to Amanda Gorman's Something Someday

Seeds of Change, companion to Amanda Gorman's book, "Something Someday," with Orff arrangement is the perfect selection for Earth Day, concert and classroom themes of caring, making a difference, and of course, for Spring and growing!

It is a song about making a difference, a call to action set to a Latin-feel Orff arrangement with lots of maracas representing the "seeds."

What I Love Most?

• The Latin vibe! Instrumentation includes drums, maracas, and barred instruments.
• Multi-sectioned form! This 3-section song features a verse, chorus, and instrumental (super easy) C section.
• Subject Integration! It partners beautifully with the concepts in Gorman's book for a literature connection as well as character ed, empathy, and SEL themes.

Musical Learning

• Simple quarter note, rest, eighth note pair, half note patterns
• In C with the chords a repeating Dm7 and G. A step away from pentatonic tunes.
• Ostinati are taught using speech and movement first.

Extras

• Barred instrument parts are also color-coded if you need to supplement with Boomwhackers.
• Optional recorder part: verse (BAG) and chorus (D'C'BAG)
