FLUTES!

We studied flutes today! From the top, we have an alto flute, soprano flute, and piccolo--all of which we observed and listened to today!

The kids enjoyed hearing the different pitches and sounds that the flutes produced, and we played a guessing game with some contemporary music arrangements of Phineas and Ferb, Toy Story, and more! 


We also played a fun listening game where the children corresponded their movements with the sounds from the flute--a "Jaws" theme like tune where we crawled like a shark on the ground, a fun trill that made us wiggle our bodies like crazy, and some short staccato notes for bunny hops! Check out the video below to watch the four year old class moving with the flute to the corresponding sound.
