They were encouraged to investigate each one, learning about the different ways we can play them and listening carefully to the unique sounds they produce. The children enjoyed creating the different sounds. To help them further understand how to control the sound, they practiced mimicking movements to get a specific sound from the instruments. This interactive approach helped them develop their listening skills and their ability to follow instructions, all while creating some amazing music together!
