Marimba Buddies

It was lots of fun today with a big group of keen marimba players as Room 1 shared their Music time with some buddies from Room 2. Room 2 started by teaching Room 1 the greeting they sing each time they come to Music with their Curwen/Kodaly hand signs to match the descending so, mi, re, do pitches they use. It was great to see our youngest musicians confidently sharing their learning with the Year 2's, some even sang beautifully by themselves in front of the big group! Then we played Ka Tangi te Kurī e together; Room 1 exemplified our nurture value by making sure their younger buddies got to play before themselves and helped them.
