Diwali - Sing, Play and Dance!

 

Diwali is Oct. 24 and we have had a great time learning about it in Music. 

Students have learned how to sing a welcome song called Jyoti Dey (give light).  We talked about how the song is in a minor key - a great extension as grades 3-6 have been listening for the difference between major and minor chords.    We then played chords on the Xylophones and Metallophones to the beat while taking turns singing the song.

We also learned how to do a Diwali dance.  A great time for all!
