Listen in!

During music class we sometimes record our performances and listen to them afterwards.  This allows the students to meet National Content Standard number 6 (listening to, analyzing, and describing music) and number 7(evaluating music and music performances).  Here’s an example of a recent recording session:

 

“Siyahamba” South African Folksong

Performed by 4th graders singing in Zulu, playing chordal harmony on boomwhackers, and playing a rhythmic ostinato on log drums.

I worry that the person who thought up Muzak may be thinking up something else.
