2nd grade students have been working on mallet technique and performing two parts at the same time! In the poem "2, 4, 6, 8" one half of the class plays the xylophones (wood barred instruments), and the other have plays a repeated pattern "Late, Don't be Late" played on the glockenspiels and metallophones (metal barred instruments). Mrs. Spears and Mrs. Berry's classes did a great job performing two parts at the same time which is a big challenge!
Students also practiced keeping the beat to our song "Down in the Valley" by bouncing tennis balls! We made it into a game, if you dropped or missed your tennis ball you have to sit down, whoever is still standing at the end of the song wins! Mrs. Spears class has some great bouncers! |
