Hands on the instruments

Details

CollectionYour Story is the Peninsula's Story CollectionContributorHart, BarbaraDescription'The students get hands on practice. They usually go to the strings because they can play those instruments. The precussion instruments get a lot of attention, too. When I lead a group, I like to split the students into four groups for the four families of instruments. I play the role of the conductor, telling the students how and when to play. [The students] use their bodies to make the sounds of rain (patting their thighs), thunder (stamping their feet), wind (blowing through their mouths) and lightening (clapping their hands). I like this approach because it gets the kids involved right from the get go.
