In between concert rehearsals, snow days, and much needed holiday vacation time, the 3rd-5th Grade classes have been experimenting with improvisation. We have had a lot of fun creating stories and songs to which then instruments are added for sound effects, character parts, or just to accompany the song/story.
Kindergarten has learned many circle games which have taught us to be kind and respectful to others. We love any type of music that gets up and going. They have learned to play a few instruments and understand how we can play them in many different ways.
1st Grade has continued to learn about rhythms and understanding how to play instruments correctly. They have had fun learning about instruments from other countries.
2nd Grade has advanced in their knowledge of rhythms and musical instrument families. They have played several activities on the Smart board which are included in the list of Kid Friendly websites. Check them out and play along with your child.
