Music Makers was a music club open to 5th grade students at Banks County Elementary School. We met after school once a week and dove deeper into areas of music that we didn't have time for in the regular connections class, such as:
- Singing technique and vocal warm-ups
- More difficult harmony
- Solo singing vs. choral singing
- More folk dances
- Challenging rhythmic layering on a variety of percussion instruments
- AND other skills/concepts that are of interest to the group
- Performed for the school and in the community
- Led younger students during grade level concerts
- Helped me create parodies and music videos for the school
- Explored their individual musical (and sometimes non-musical) talents during our monthly "Time 4 Talent".
