Here are some pics of the 4th grade students working in groups to create their own music with non-traditional instruments. Next, here are some pics of the kids playing instruments for our unit on "Texture." Textures in music include all the different layers that are put together to create a certain sound or mood. We are working on an arrangement of a Halloween song, "Halloween Night". There are 3 different textures or xylophone parts that are all played simultaneously. The challenge for the students is to stay on their particular part, even while other textures are playing. It's also a challenge to make the parts fit together and actually sound good together!.
I will hopefully post a recording soon! Meanwhile, here are a couple pics of the kids working with partners on their particular parts.
