This week in Foundation Music class, we continued our lesson on instruments made from trees. The students learnt how to play the accordion, which is made up of hundreds of parts such as wood, metal, and plastic. Playing the accordion improves coordination and requires both hands. As the Foundation students’ hands are small, so it is not easy to do that, but the students tried to engage in learning how to play the accordion and follow the melodies of the song.

In the  K1 class, they continued to create recycled instruments. This time, they made a tambourine using a paper plate, ribbon, and bottle cap. In connection with music, the students learnt how to use both hands to improve their bilateral coordination. It also served as a tool to improve language and listening skills as they listened to instructions or to the different sounds the instruments made. The students were excited to make the tambourine instrument and were ready to dance while playing.

In K2 Music class, they learned about living things in the animal kingdom. Elephants are foremost known for their ivory.  The teeth or tusk of the elephant used the keys of the piano. in the connection, they were taught the simple song, Do Re Mi Fa So La Ti Do. The students were engaged and tried to play the piano. Learning to play the piano enhances cognitive abilities and improves memory, concentration, and problem-solving skills. Playing the piano also helps develop fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination.
