Music Makers--week 1

Today we learned all about my favorite instrument: the piano! We explored the beautiful piano in the sanctuary and learned about its inner workings. (Did you know the piano is technically a percussion instrument?) 

Checking out the keyboard, each student took a turn playing all the black notes and then naming the notes on the piano. We talked about how learning music is like learning another language and then we sang some songs together to warm up our ears. 

We ended things by going on a piano hunt in the church. Guess how many pianos we found? (Answer: 6)

Stay "tuned" for next week's class on Rhythm!
