Journal 11

This week we talked about creativity in storytelling. We learned different ways to incorporate music into story telling. We did sound effects to a story,Played instruments, sang songs, and created instruments for a story. We learned that through story-telling we can learn other educational things like science, math, social skills, etc. This can help student develop good counting skills and many other learning experiences through story-telling. We also had students learn new instruments and play instruments to stories. This help students learn musical skills along with each story. We learned that even our trash can be used as instruments for a story. These different experiences helped us to extend our minds and be creative with what we had to work with. While doing these activities students can benefit from musical skills and concepts in addition to other school subjects. Students can also learn that you can do multiple things and learn multiple thing with each story. Binary is a musical concept that is two sections A and B. The sections can be Chorus and the other can be verse. We learned this concept through story telling and incorporating a song in the story. We listened to this old man and that is an example of binary. We have also listened to another song this week that would be an example of binary. This week we also learned the last note of the recorder. We practiced that and also played songs with that note. I wish we would have had more time to work on our group project as it is very difficult for students to get together outside of class due to different daily schedules. Creativity has helped us to develop a better idea of how to incorporate music in any subject. We learn there is multiple things that can be learned through story-telling and music.
