The added instruments and materials have helped ensure that there is an adequate supply at the two elementary schools where I teach to prevent me from needing to haul items back and forth. \r\n\r\nThe tick tock blocks will be played by first graders after reviewing the instruments in the wood family of percussion as they keep a steady beat to a French song they've been practicing. The kindergarten and first grade students will learn about the bongo drum as part of the instruments in the skin family of percussion. Maracas and claves will be used by students in a variety of grade levels to practice keeping a steady beat or reading and performing rhythmic phrases through many different activities. Lastly, third grade students will move the ribbons in different ways to the music to show the form of a couple pieces by W.A. Mozart. \r\n\r\nAs you can see, all the instruments and materials directly support the musical learning of elementary students in an assortment of ways.
