I had so much fun with prek musicians today as we made up our own verses to Raffi's "Going on a Picnic"...until they decided that spiders were going to invade our picnic! Uh oh!

2nd grade musicians have been learning about musical FORM: how to categorize and listen for different sections of a song. This week, we're making up dances to show the form of the song "Everything is Awesome". So much fun! https://t.co/WFtlNnEY0a

The Riqq رق is an instrument that breaks stereotypes. So many people believe that the tambourine is a primitive instrument. But when they witness the Arab style of playing, they behold how vast it is. It is a wonderful analogy for learning about another culture.

This week, we're reading the book "Salam Alaikum" by British musician Harris J! We'll learn about this greeting, discuss what we can do to spread peace at @APSTaylor, and learn the song that goes along with the book! @APSArts @Principal_TES

Our PreK music classes this week are all about OUTER SPACE! We love singing songs about the planets and climbing aboard our pretend rocket ship. Watch astronaut Chris Hadfield make music in space here!
