Autumn...

From nursery rhythms to poems, from songs to instrumental works, Autumn has been one of the inspirations for many composers and authors.  Grade 1 students created a soundscape using the non-pitched instruments.  Using their imagination, they tried to capture the sounds from nature by using some basic instruments such as the wood, metal, shake-and-scrape and membrane families.  Grade 2 students interpreted the songs through "free movement."  Grade 3 students explored different dynamic levels and various mallet techniques on the barred instruments so as to achieve a range of effects.  Grade 4 students performed their rendition of the nursery rhythm Intery mintery cutery corn on barred instruments.  All of the songs and poems center around Autumn.
