This week, the students are learning how to play ALL of the chords in order for "Black and Gold" on the xylophones. They have learned three chords, D minor, G minor, and A7. The students understand how to create the chords and how to find them on the xylophones. They work in groups of 3 mostly, where each student plays one note of the 3-note chord. The challenge is moving the mallets from one chord to the next at the appropriate time during the song! Challenging, but very fun! We also played the chords in two-different ways. One recording demonstrates the chords played "blocked" or all together, and the next recording demonstrates the students "rolling" the chords!
