GRADE 5 CLASS

Students have been exploring jazz and related genres of music. They started by exploring the historical, cultural and musical qualities of Hambone through spoken word and body percussion. In "My Little Suede Shoes", students learned to play the accompaniment for this piece on the ukulele and the melody on the xylophones.
