Ever notice the lists of student names on our white board? Those were volunteers wanting to perform for the class. They had the first few minutes of class to sign-up, and performances happened at the end of class when there was extra time. Whatever they performed was supposed to be practiced, not made up on the spot. Most students sang popular songs - I heard a lot of "What Does the Fox Say" at the beginning of the school year and "Frozen" towards the end. Some students performed on piano, other percussion, or they wrote their own rhythm patterns. (pictured above)
Our last day of music class, we had party day. Students could join the 'rock band' by playing drum set, guitar, ukulele, maracas, cow bell, or sing in the microphone. They also could color, put together puzzles, or dance. I'm going to really miss these students and hope to see them making lots of wonderful music in the years to come!!!
