Orff arrangement going well
We began the Orff arrangment of Rockin' to the Zoo. Students are succeeding in large part because they know the rhythm already and the basic melody after already learning the boomwhacker parts. I am noticing that the students are mastering the different phrases very quickly. We are learning the parts as a class so today we worked on the bass part only. During the next two classes, we will work on the alto and soprano parts and then be ready to put it all together.
