The children were certainly inventive today! To create a musical interpretation of “A Weather Story,” the children decided which percussion instruments should represent specific weather sounds. We tried several possibilities before settling upon the class favorite. Activities such as this provide an opportunity for flexibility, change, or rearrangement, thus encouraging creativity. The creative process itself enhances the child’s ability to think in different ways and extends the thought process.
Enjoy your child’s creative impulses as she invents her own percussion instrument at home this week. Read Music at Home 7 for ideas; then create and bring her creation to class next week!
