4th Grade Informance

I was so glad that we changed to one informance and one performance each year for the elementary grades.  The 4th grade informance this spring was so much fun!  We had worked really hard on recorders, so we played a pretty hard song and then showed off the kid's improvising skills.  They also showed how they can read do-re-mi-so-la melodies and some pretty hard rhythms.  I was so proud of them!

Composing and reading melodies from the board

Playing "Leapin' Lemurs" on recorders

Playing "The Slaves of Job" as we keep the steady beat by passing egg shakers

Having a good time after we mess up passing the eggs!

Improvising on recorders - so cool!
Way to go 4th Graders!!!
