Our Angry Cloud Faces

It may not be in the ballet for "Waltz of the Flowers", but in our Let's Play Music puppet show we have an Angry Cloud! It comes out during the cello part of that song. It's so much fun making our Angry Cloud faces with fingers showing the rain that is ruining our nice spring day. Not to fear, the butterfly comes and chases the cloud away at the end.

Here are my students (in random order) being Angry Clouds on the last day of class for our Red Balloons semester.

It has been a wonderful experience teaching Let's Play Music! I love how we get to have fun learning so many musical concepts. My students have learned to sing and play a major scale, to identify steps and leaps, to identify chord sounds by ear, to do the Solfeggio hand signs, to read notes on the staff and play them on the bells, to recognize themes in music, and so much more!

I'm excited for our next semester: Blue Bugs!
