Congrats, fifth grade students, on a fantastic start in drumming this year. In our study of Ghanaian drumming, we've learned how to hit the drum (very light bounces) and where to hit it (closed and open tones). We've begun with simple echo patterns as well as question and answer patterns. Your musical responses have been very creative, but most of all danceable, as all Ghanaian music should be!
Although I miss hearing you sing through class, our short African songs are sounding really nice. The "School Registration" song has been so much fun to sing and "Take Time In Life" will soon be ready for instruments.
What has been your favorite part of class so far this year?
