While teaching music online, it'd be great to continue learning different instruments with my second graders. While trying to think of an instrument that is "small" and "compact," I thought of the pan flute which was first created in ancient Greece. While we were still in school, students were learning about the "Djembe," which is an African American drum, so therefore it would be incredible to continue learning about instruments from around the world. Whenever students are given the opportunity to learn a new instrument, they light up with excitement. I would love to be able to continue to provide that excitement even while we are in this crazy time in life and school is done online. Even if we can't receive materials and begin this project before the end of this school year, I am hoping that we will return to a "normal" school environment next year and we can then learn the pan flute together in person.
