Description
Each week, students open up to a picture and a short intro paragraph about a specific animal. Then the student is shown a hand position to use – at Level 1, we start with black keys and move into a few 5 finger positions. A variety of sounds are introduced to students including major, minor, and even modal positions with varying meters as well.
After placing their hands, students and teachers should jump in! Beginning with the teacher accompaniment, let students hear the meter and the sound for this piece. Then encourage them to jump in! Challenges and ideas to mix up improv activities are given on many pages so students & teachers are in for plenty of adventures!
