Snowflakes

Improvisation is the practice of creating music in response to one's environment, or composing music "on the fly." The third grade students have been creating improvised music on xylophones to explore different combinations of notes in the pentatonic scale. You can view each class performance of "Snowflakes" below. The music after each phrase is the result of improvisation - each student chose which notes to play given a specific rhythmic pattern to follow.
