Passing the Rhythm Around

We had another big group today, but the kids were more focused this time around. We started off on our feet immediately, with a good shakeout and a warmup round of What Are You Doing?, our improv game from last week. Then we did some more circle games and passed call and response rhythms around the room, and the kids stayed on the beat quite well. The kids seemed like they were gelling together as a group more today, which was evident in the way they were able to sustain notes while we sang solfege (slow, then increasing in speed). We finished off singing I Feel Good, dividing the kids into the vocal lines, horn section, and hand claps. They picked it up fast!
