Sarasponda

The 4th graders are working on a piece called Sarasponda that has a stick accompaniment.  The red group did an amazing job the first day we tried it with actual sticks (not just the hand clap patterns) so we videotaped them.  Some of the students can even sing while doing the stick patterns; impressive. Enjoy!   Red Group

Kindergarten Students Sing Solos!

Kindergarten students are discovering and experimenting with their voices.  They are using speaking, whispering, calling and singing voices.  In this echo song, students are asked to use their singing voices as they echo me.  As you listen, you will hear many types of voices used including singing voices that are matching pitch!  As the students' confidence and understanding grows, their singing will too.  Enjoy~
