What we do:
* make music with instruments using pentatonic scale
* ear-training with instruments
* group/circle/partner dances
* improv movement
* learn to play recorder (older kids)
* ensemble music playing
* have fun!!!

After a few weeks of collaborative work the children will retell the story through music, movement and dialogue. There is no need to purchase any instruments. Musical instruments to be used in the classroom include Orff xylophones and glockenspiels, various drums, recorders, shakers, woodblocks, kazoos, and more.

Children are not required to have any prior music/dance experience.
Children should wear loose clothing to allow for movement.
The classroom is a shoe-off zone.
