WestwoodMusicClass - Special NotesPlease read the following special notes to help you with your day.

Here are some activities to choose from. The door should be closed for instrument play alongs but might be best open for other activities to get some air flow. If you click the "Emergency" button, there are other activities including "Art". The students could use what I have in the cubbies or they can bring their own art boxes.

Boomwhackers Students sit at their spot. Please remind them to keep them in rest position and only strike them on their leg or hand. Do not bend them.

Each activity lists the notes you will need. The "flat" or "#" notes have symbol on them and are part of a different set. Anything indicated as "low" uses the black octavator cap. I would leave the ones with more notes for Grades 2 & 3.

C, D, E, F, G, A

C, D, E, F, G, A, B, high C, LOW G, LOW B

Rhythm Play-alongs

We have used these percussion play-alongs before. I usually put students in rows by their line (yellow, green or blue) and have each row do an instrument:

Row 1 - Handrums

Row 2 - Tambourines

Row 3 - Sticks

Row 4 - Triangles

Feel free to rearrange rows so there are an even(ish) number per row.

They will want to do it again so I included two videos and they both have the same instrumentation.
