Boomwhacker Club

We just started a new session of clubs.  Our Boomwhacker club is having fun discovering what kind of sounds these colorful plastic tubes can produce.  They've also been exploring the xylophones and metallophones and learning to read the music notation and transfer that onto the instruments. 

Today they practiced Old MacDonald and Jingle Bells. 

Having fun with our Orff instruments

We learned about 16th notes in this lesson.  We learned the song "Tideo" and transferred the 16th note pattern into a body percussion activity with movement.  Then layered on top of that, we added our xylophone  arrangement and practiced an ostinato pattern.
