3D: Unit 2 Class Project.

Students in 3D focused on the skills needed to sing in unison. They learned, rehearsed and recorded this performance of Do Wah Diddy.


Grade 2: Exploring Sounds!

Grade 2 music students have been exploring the idea that 'musical sounds are everywhere.' We have inquired into how sound can be produced and how we can make our own musical instruments through reusing and recycling household items.

Students planned, designed, made and presented their instruments to their class and demonstrated how their instrument produced sound- either through tapping, shaking, scraping, plucking, blowing or a combination.
