The red group had a special musical guest today! Mrs. Burgess' uncle, Don, came to the school to show the kids a few instruments. He taught us that we have a few built in instruments (our hands and mouths) and that we can make simple instruments from found objects like spoons! We enjoyed listening to, and playing with, the autoharp. We learned that pressing different buttons changes the sound when strumming the strings.
We enjoyed listening to a few songs on guitar as well, and even got to help sing "I'm a little teapot" with our outside voices! We sang our Music Monday song for Don and he was very impressed with the kids' ability to memorize all of those words! There was discussion afterwards about musical instruments, and we will continue this exploration next week!
