1.Classroom instruments function in a variety of ways. Please list some instruments that play
(1)Melodic instruments—A melodic instrument is any instrument that can produce a melody. List melodic instruments:Piano, Keyboard, recorder, step bells.
(2)Harmonic instruments—A harmonic instrument can play harmony or drones as accompaniments to songs. List harmonic instruments: autoharp, omnichord, guitar.
(3) Rhythmic instruments (percussion instruments)—Rhythmic instruments can play the rhythm to songs. They are divided into woods, metals, and skins.
List rhythmic instruments: rhythmic sticks, claves, tambourine, hand drum, congo drum.
2.What musical concepts could students gain through playing instruments? Students have the chance to learn steady beat, dynamics, musical form, pitch, and melody through playing different instruments.
3.Playing instrumental accompaniments adds interests and variety to many songs and contributes toward perceptual and motor skills. The choice and use of appropriate instruments in musical experiences can enrich the study of history, geography, culture and people, poetry, feelings and moods, and holidays. Please select one topic from above categories and design an activity using musical instruments.
I would pick a a story using the "Five Little Pumpkins" and use music and text to determine rhythmic accompaniment and pitch relationships.
