Enrich your students' understanding of math and measurement with this year's new zany presentation on Homemade Instruments. Students see such musical marvels as garden hose trumpets, sprinkler pipe flutes, and water-bottle xylophones while they listen to mambos, Caribbean melodies and Japanese folk songs. A highlight of this presentation is when four students and one teacher are featured on a variety of homemade instruments to form a human xylophone. Through the use of familiar music and FOSS sound module experiments, students are introduced to the scientific principles of waves, frequency, and time. This presentation highlights both Ragtime and Peruvian music and features a wide variety of instruments from South America, Africa, and the Polynesian Islands.
Fluent reading sounds like talking.
This simple principle is at the core of the Reading Fluency and Singing presentation. Your students also experience the connections between singing and reading which inspire a natural sense of phrasing, meter and expression. In Math and Music, students learn how the music in their world is based on geometric shapes, patterns and fractions. In Reading and Math Patterns, students are engaged in a number of entertaining games and activities which teach them how to identify patterns throughout the curriculum. Invite your families back to school for this wonderful hands-on activity night.
