Budding Beethoven

There has been considerable interest in the music centre since its introduction a few weeks ago. Students have had opportunities to explore rhythm sticks, sand blocks, maracas, wood blocks, a drum, a xylophone, an egg shaker and a musical triangle. Some students have taken their work quite seriously as they've begun committing their musical compositions to paper. After Mr. Pickett and several students explored ways of representing music on paper, many children have taken interest in composing. Here, one S/K child plays a composition which he wrote, notated and performed flawlessly. Bravo! Encore!
