Rocky Mountain Song

My 5th & 6th Grade classes are learning the folk song, "Rocky Mountain," on xylophones and metallophones.  We reviewed proper playing technique and how to accompany the song.

Verse 1

Rocky Mountain, Rocky Mountain, Rocky Mountain High!

When you're on that Rocky Mountain, hang your head and cry.

          Refrain

          Do, do, do, do, do remember me.

          Do, do, do, do, do remember me!

Verse 2

Sunny valley, sunny valley, sunny valley low.

When you're in that sunny valley, sing it soft & slow. (Refrain)

Verse 3

Stormy ocean, stormy ocean, stormy ocean wide.

When you're on that deep blue sea, there's no place you can hide. (Refrain)

They are doing a great job with the verses, and they are playing the correct notes, too!

This is Ms. King's 5th Grade class trying it out.
