University Musicians Visit 5th Grade Classes

5th grade students worked with two university students, Garret Aalfs and Trevor Kent.  Garret and Trevor improvised by "trading fours" to the 12 bar blues.  Students sang and improvised with their recorders and voices to the harmonic structure of the blues.  In a previous lesson they used their Ipads to learn the bass line of the 12 blue bars so were familiar with the form.  Thank you gentleman for sharing your expertise and playing with the 5th grade students!
