Welcome Back!

We have been having a wonderful year so far. The past 2 weeks students have been acclimating or re-acclimating to the music room procedures and expectations. This week all the students are doing grade-level lessons surrounding steady beat and rhythm. In kindergarten we used play-doh as tortilla dough flour and kept a steady beat to the poem "Tortillitas" See if you children remember the motions and words to the rhyme! "Tortillitas para mama.

In the upper grades we played a game "tikatika ti and stop" to work on our rhythmic listening skills. It will get harder as the year goes on. This week the whole school also listened to a piece by a brass ensemble while we did our stretches and learned the song Great Big Stars.
