Music Class Mr. Erickson

The children look forward to their weekly music class with Mr. Erickson. Here is what they did today during music class.

 The children identified loud and soft sounds while Mr. Erickson played them on the tuba.

The children moved to the music. The children 'glued' different body parts (elbows, heads, feet, etc.)  to the carpet and moved the rest of their bodies to the music. They had to freeze when the music stopped.

The children moved like different animals (hippos, dragonflies, monkeys) to the music.

The children created a steady beat while singing a song and passing the egg shaker.

The children learned how to use the mallets. This was in preparation for a new instrument that will be introduced next week using the mallets.

Music class ended with children touching the tuba and feeling the vibrations it makes.
