Today we bounced off of our songwriting workshop from last month with a group exercise using the glockenspiels.  The kids gave suggestions of words with different numbers of syllables, and all of the tables took turns creating strings of notes to practice melodies on the glockenspiel which the group could sing. We ended up with some pretty silly sounding lyrics, but the main part of the lesson was to think about our music vocabulary and general vocabulary in tandem, exploring the inherent musicality of words!
