2nd Grade

Students have been busy singing, playing, dancing and listening to music in each class. This month, they have been singing and playing the song "Autumn is Here". This is an additive song that combines many different verses and instrument parts. They love the challenge! They have also been playing a game called "Pass the Pumpkin". This game reinforces steady beat and allows students to practice singing in a minor key while developing their musical independence playing xylophone, glockenspiel, rainstick and vibraslap. Students have also been practicing a tricky body percussion routine set to "In the Hall of the Mountain King" by Edvard Grieg. We hope to share a final performance of it here soon.
