We are learning about music. We have had the beat station in our classroom a couple of times, and are practicing making a beat.
We watched some of the stage show Stomp in class today. The performers didn’t use any instruments – they used things like brooms, newspapers and their shoes to make music. It was neat to see that music can come from anywhere, and there are lots of ways for musicians to make beats, melodies and songs.
The next time we have the beat station, we’re hoping to get through some of the level 2 lessons so that we can start adding some ukulele to our songs.
