Students get 2 sticks from the brown box under the student desk by the whiteboard. 

Do your best to follow along!

TEACHER: You can choose up to 3 kids to get on the big drums to play along. 

Everyone gets a scarf from the bin. Stand up and spread out. 

Follow Mr. Reyna with Seven Jumps!

Mr. Pace is my actual music teacher friend at Buda Elementary. He's VERY silly and loves to tell stories and make sound effects. The story of "Mr. Wiggle and Mr. Waggle" is one of my favorites. Follow his directions. 

You should definitely recognize this song. Follow the body percussion. If you can't snap, just pretend. 

Can you tell which songs have a beat and which ones don't? 👀

Watch these 5th graders play "Street Song" by composer Carl Orff. The Tom Green Orffestra is named after him.

Instrument "Jingo!" - This is just for fun. No smellie to earn. Too easy!
