JINGLE BELLS!!

While it make look easy putting together this performance was one of the most difficult tasks we've done.  It was layered with a xylophone part, a drum ostinato & sleigh bells to keep the beat steady!  We added some singing, too of course!! (i helped out there a little!)  Hope you enjoy the kids' work!  They were very proud of themselves!

Fun in Music!

The kids have been working hard learning about syncopation patterns in music, but we wanted to take a break and have some Halloween fun with BATS!
