“Arizona has a canyon, it is wide and very deep… Miles of colored layered rock, it paints a view we want to keep” -Sing this in a round several times… It may help when you hear the melody. Fifty State Rounds is filled with music, learning, and fun! Every state has its own round with the music written out along with interactive audio so you can hear how its supposed to be sung. Children and adults will be entertained for hours as they learn these original musical state rounds and sing them out loud for (and with) their family, friends, and school class.
A musical round is a song that can be sung by two or more people, and often in groups. One person starts off and the next person starts to sing the same song after a few measures. The song should harmonize nicely. When the person or group gets to the end of the round, they start again. The round can go on and on, singing it as many times as you’d like.
Each state round has audio to hear how it sounds and to make it easier to learn. Simply tap the ‘PLAY ROUND’ button on each page to hear the round. The round is sung once first, then after a few seconds, its sung again, in a round.
You can also learn about something special and unique about each state in the lyrics. The rounds will inspire you to find out more about the states.
