4th Grade has spent the last couple of weeks working on their very own compositions. These compositions, however, must not utilize any real instruments, but only objects that can be used to create great sounds for their songs.
Through rich discussions, we came to the conclusion that music should not be describe as merely sounds. Because the sound of the construction trucks outside Hamlin and the sounds of other things do not necessarily make music. Likewise, music cannot be defined as instruments, either. Rather, we can make music with pretty much anything! Therefore, we've decided that music must be organized and have a sense of beat to be considered music. For our project, then, the students could utilize any objects to create their songs, but the requirement was to organize and plan the song, maintaining a sense of beat, and including patterns of sounds. They have been working hard, and the completed songs will be posted very soon!
