This is amazing. These children are playing on instruments made of recycled materials from a landfill because that’s all they have. Beautiful.
Totes using this in class.
I wish I could show these to my students.
Yesterday a civil war reenactment trio came and played for our 7th grade music students. They were funny, educational, and very interactive. The kids all had the “this is so awesome” face.
Put new low e strings in two classical guitars today! Not as difficult as one would think. Especially when YouTube helps.
My 6th graders are waiting on busses to take them on a field trip. The percussionists started playing on the floor with their sticks.
It tuned into a whole band drum circle with some pretty sweet rhythms.
I love non-planned rhythmic games.
Sight read this with my 8th grade band today. It was pretty recognizable. The spring concert is going to be legit this year.
Understand Music
Beautiful animation that explains different musical terms.
Showing this to my guitar students - many of whom don’t know anything about music, but really enjoy making it and listening to it.
