ELC, kindergarten and grade 1 have been working on using ribbons to respond to the music they hear. That means, when the music changes, so does their motion. In ELC, I create the motions for them and the students copy, so they can experience the musical phrases. In Kindergarten we started out with copy the teacher, and grew to them creating their own moves that match the smooth and jumpy music. In first grade, they had to show the dynamic changes of forte and piano with their own motions. Here's some pictures and videos of it!
