The children were certainly inventive today! To create a musical interpretation of “A Weather Story,” the children in Semeseter 1 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. Bring his creation to class next week!
In semester 3, we review alot of the things we have already learned: rhythmic notation, notes on the staff, and playing our glockenspiels. But of course there's always time for fun!
