Second Graders Music Writing

The 2^nd Graders have been working hard at creating melodies and rhythmic chants. We are now working at writing these rhythms and melodies down on paper. We have then been playing these melodies on xylophones and adding addition percussion instruments like finger cymbals, tambourines and drums.

These are some of the rhythmic chants that the Second Graders wrote. They then turned these into do, re and me melodies.

This is an example of Rhythmic and Melodic dictation - listen and writing down the rhythm and then the melody.
