Thoughts, details about what we're doing, general music stuff.
The 5th graders are working hard this week on memorization, and also we've started my favorite part of the musical performance process: choreography. This is where they help me make up moves to go with their songs. Sometimes we use pre-planned moves that came with the script, other times I dislike the ideas in the script and I choose to make something else up. I enlist the help of the students, who usually have a ton of creative ideas, to add to the dance/movement piece. Today I had Mrs. Carbine's class studying short videos of Mick Jagger to get an idea of what true "swagger" is. (I love my job!!) We also watched a short clip of Angus Young performing the 'duck walk' with his guitar. To be the first person to introduce these great legends of music to them, is such a pleasure in my life!
