This week in music, the first and second graders reviewed the Orff instruments. They did a great job remembering both the instrument name AND the size name! Below is a list of the instruments they played:
- Soprano Xylophone
- Alto Xylophone
- Bass Xylophone
- Soprano Metallophone
- Alto Metallophone
- Bass Metallophone
- Soprano Glockenspiel
- Alto Glockenspiel
After a quick review of the proper mallet technique, they were ready to start playing some music! We practiced alternating our mallets and going up and down the scale. First graders played a simple bass line to accompany Hot Cross Buns, and second graders learned how to play the melody! We can't wait to extend this unit next week!
The third graders have been preparing for their recorder and violin concert, which is next Tuesday, June 5th at 8:30 for parents of third grade students. Please make sure your child is prepared with their instrument(s) and all music that day - as well as Monday for our dress rehearsal.
The fourth graders performed their book compositions for the first graders and kindergarteners! Below is a video of Olshaw's class performing Knuffle Bunny, and Gonzalez's class performing Jabuti.
The fifth graders reviewed the C and G chords on the ukuleles, then practiced the A minor chord and the F chord. Armed with 4 chords, they are ready to play along with MANY folk and pop songs! This week they played along with Skip to My Lou, Thunder, I'm Yours, and Riptide.
