Music is Amazing!
Here at the Nokomis Music Department, we enthusiastically learn about many aspects of music. Activities include singing, dancing/moving, playing the drums, using our hands to remember 'do re mi' notes to sing, clapping and saying rhythms, learning to play the piano keyboard, playing various hand percussion instruments, making up our own rhythms and dance moves, and even engaging in some 'marching band' fun!
Below you will find links and info so students can practice at home.
I will soon add more updates with videos I will make myself.
It's a pleasure to be the music teacher here! Thank you, everyone, for your kindness. Truly,
Mr. Post
