My students love music and dancing. We need the rhythm set which includes maracas, bongo drums, Chino tone block, and hand bells to make our daily music time more engaging. My students learn best when they are able to move and have hands-on experiences. They are also able to express themselves through dance and music. The rhythm instruments, maracas, bongo drums, Chino tone block, and hand bells will make music come alive for my students. They will learn how to keep rhythm and follow a beat. My students love to make their own songs and dances. The rhythm maracas, bongo drums, Chino tone block, and hand bells will allow them to further explore music and movement. The instruments from around the world will allow them to learn more about other cultures. Music and movement is a fun and engaging learning experience for my students and instruments will enhance this time.
