The third week of school is almost done, and it's been a whirlwind so far! Lots of name games, pitch exploration, solfege review in the older grades, and fun... One name game that was particularly well-received had a "We Will Rock You" beat underneath it.
Another big hit in the music room has been Smoulder, our resident dragon musician. Smoulder has quite the background story: Due to a genetic disorder, he can't produce fire from his mouth...only a bit of ash...but as one of the third graders put it, he breathes music instead! Smoulder loves to sing and fly at the same time - when he flies up high, he sings high, and when he flies down low, he sings low. He's a great prop for our pitch exploration exercises! (I thought the younger students would like him more than the older students, but the 4th and 5th graders are quite enamored with him!) Go Dragons!
