As you can see from the photos, we have really been enjoying playing those instruments this week!! Younger students got to learn all about the kettledrum and found it to be a rather interesting instrument.
The 6th graders got to play and experiment making various rhythms using only the pitches/notes of F, G, and A. They played their rhythms on keyboards and xylophones to a John "Cougar" Mellencamp song, "This is Your Life."
5th Graders watched a YouTube cartoon video of the orchestral piece "Peter and the Wolf." They then got to play various instruments to represent each of the characters as I read the story aloud.
Of course class would not be complete without an evaluation, a self-evaluation, that is!! Students got to grade themselves on their musical performance for the day.
