Hot Cross Buns in Harmony

Post date: Mar 1, 2013 6:01:49 PM

At the beginning of the year, 5th grade students learned how to play Hot Cross Buns. Now we can play it together with two additional harmony parts. We also added xylophones to the ensemble. Students experienced playing different harmony parts of the same song and learned to listen to one another to blend our sound. When we play songs in harmony it aurally exposes students to chord function and solidifies their audiation.
