Yesterday's class was all about Tone Color - the quality that distinguishes one voice or instrument from another. Each voice and instrument has its own tone color, which is the reason you can recognize someone's voice on the phone.
The kids listened to a story about the instruments of the orchestra. And practiced picking out the sounds of different instruments in the music.
Next week - please have your child bring in some recycling-containers, boxes, egg cartons, cardboard tubes, etc. We will be creating instruments in class together.
