The focus is more on playing technique and following conductor cues in that case. I use this with every grade K-6 and it works great!

I love that Youtube channel so much (Hall of the Mountain King got tons of playtime this fall!).<br /><br />I'm curious about the merry-go-round idea; when the kids play, are they just keeping a steady beat or playing along with music or something else? (I know you said sometimes they echo patterns, but I wasn't sure what the default is.) And what grades do you usually try it with? Love this idea and may have to pull it out these last days before break!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11347140883442901944noreply@blogger.com
