Daily Blog Challenge Day 170/365
Material Monday
We spend a lot of time during second semester playing Orff Instruments. This year I have focused on the ability to play a bourdon and glissando in Kindergarten and First Grades. In second grade, we start playing melodies.
We started Orff Instruments by playing games where 1-2 students would get to play an instrument at a time. After a few games I felt my students could handle playing as a whole class. I started group activities by allowing them to have free play time while watching for cut offs by me. We then started activities where one student picks a song we have sang this year and choose to add a bourdon or glissando while we sang the song. Hearing their creativity was a lot of fun and the students enjoyed having more ownership.
What activites do you do in primary music that incoorperate Orff Instruments? Thank you for reading.
