Organic Shapes or Live Statues

Edison students of all grade levels are creating live statues also known as "Organic Shapes."
Not only is it fun, but it requires lots of concentration, spatial awareness, kinesthetic control and cooperation to achieve a finished product. See for yourself.

Compose You Own Melody!

Edison students are composing their own melodies. They are also learning and/or reviewing the names of the kinds of notes and rests that are used in a melody. They also get to use our Smartboard to do it.

Improvise!. . . Good for Both Students and Teachers.

Mr. Mason's and Ms. Valenzuela's classes ALL came to music this week. Although it was an unexpected occurrence, it turned out to be a good time for all! See for yourself. I've posted a Teacher Tube link to a Photo Story I created on Tuesday afternoon, using photos of the body percussion accompaniment that the two classes created during their music times. There is also a second Teacher Tube link showing another example of body percussion use.

These are photos from last year. These are Kindergarten, Second and Third graders.

If you click on "Music Links" (right side panel), you will go to the "Classics for Kids" Homepage. You can find many games to practice, test and improve your music skills.
