Music Students Learn about Hispanic Culture through Latin Music!
Music Students Learn about Hispanic Culture through Latin Music!
Hispanic Heritage emphasis takes place each year during September and October. Students in Mrs. Dail’s adapted Music Classes have been participating in enjoyable and interactive activities to acquaint them with this unique culture and its music. Students began by meeting a puppet, Juan Hernandez-Martinez, and locating parts of the world where people live, who come from a Hispanic culture. It was also a great opportunity to locate our country and the American flag. Next, students sang songs in Spanish (or participated in singing activities) accompanied by the new classroom tenor ukulele. It almost sounded like a popular Latin instrument, the guitar. Mrs. Dail provided opportunities for students to strum the ukulele while reminding them that when a string wriggles or vibrates, a special sound is made. The ukulele is part of the string family.
