Work this Week in Music

We will begin the week in music by discussing our learning targets and essential questions for the quarter. Our key word for the week is respect. We will be talking about how we respect each other as musicians and how we respect our new musical instruments!

Students will play the shekere and the tubano in call and response patterns as well as question and answer.

We will also be learning a hand movement game from Zimbabwe called Sorida. This game helps develop physical and musical coordination. 

In the next few weeks students will be working on preparing a presentation on the music from a country of their choice. Students should decide by Tuesday what country they would like to research and present on.

Homework for Tuesday: Students choose country to present on.
