Objective: After hearing specific sounds and beats in a read aloud book, students will listen to the book again and follow along by making the correct sound along with the correct beat.
Standard: 2.4.3 Arrange and perform a short sound piece cooperatively in small groups using the voice, body percussion, found items, or classroom instruments.
Description: After listening to the read aloud The Little Old Woman Who Was Not Afraid of Anything by Linda Williams, students will participate in the hands-on activities at the learning station. In the read aloud, students will get to hear how different instruments are used to make different sounds. They will learn that instruments can be made by using different parts of the body or they can be man-made. The students will have the opportunity to make their own egg shaker instruments. They can use these, their own body, and the other instruments provided to make music. Their are multiple QR codes that allow students to listen to various beats made by the given instruments. Students can identify the different instruments and play back the beats on their own. They also will get to make up their own song with different beats from different instruments and then record it in the hollow tree on their IPads. They also will get to explore provided literature about music and how they can see and make it in the world around them. Through these activities, students will feel more comfortable with music in general and not be afraid to get out and experience it on their own.
