In music class, EC students have been learning about the three C's: Composition, Composer and Conductor. We learned that a composition is a piece of music. The composer writes the music and the conductor tells the musicians when it is time to play.
Friends created their own musical compositions using flowers, roses and daisies. The conductor points to the flower and the "band" claps and says the name of the flowers in the composition. This serves as a pathway to rhythmic reading and can be translated into the rhythmic notations "Ta" (1/4 note) and Titi (to 1/8th notes).
Students came up to the board and arranged the flowers to create their own compositions and the class performed them. In our next class, we transferred our claps to rhythm sticks and played the compositions-it was great fun!
