Welcome back!

 

This rotation, students will continue learning musical concepts such as:

 

- Keeping a steady beat

- Moving to a song

- Reading and performing rhythms

- Marimba technique

- Holding marimba mallets correctly

- Creating their own rhythms

- Rehearsing and performing a song on the marimba in a group (whole class)

 

They will be introduced to Rhythm Basketball this rotation. This "game" teaches students how to sightread more complex rhythms and perform them at a steady tempo. They will be on one of two teams and each time they get the rhythm correct, they get a point and the chance to score more points by tossing a ball into a basket.

 

We will continue daily singing, dancing, and moving to music.
