Practice Playing To The Same Tempo, Keep The Beat (1, 2, 3, 4) and Play The Correct Rhythm Together..... THEN PERFORM WITH AN INSTRUMENT!
Making Sweet Music!
It is amazing to watch how the students respond to being able to make music and play to specific musical notes. Students are practising using whole, half, quarter and eighth notes. We try different tempos and rearrange the notes to create different rhythms. Soon students will be ready to create their own piece of music, choose a percussion instrument and perform for an audience.
As well, we are beginning to take a look at First Nations including Metis traditions which includes music. Stay tuned for more.
