Grade 6 - Hambone

Students in Grade 6 have been working on improvisation for the past couple months. Improvisation is the process of creating an immediate musical composition without any preparation. Students learned an Orff arrangement of Hambone, which is based on a style of dance music from West Africa called Juba dance. During the B section, students were given the opportunity to improvise and create their own music. In each class video below, you will see three different students share their improvised work, while the rest of the class accompanies them:

Ms. Laden's Class
Mr. Palluzzi's Class
Mrs. Richard's Class
