Kindergarten High and Low on Instruments!

"Small is high,

Big is low.

That is science

we should know!"

Kindergartners learned this poem for our first composition activity on the Orff instruments. We learned that small instruments and small bars make high sounds, and big instruments and big bars make low sounds.

We read the book "Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?" After reading, we assigned high and low pitches to the words of the book. We sang our composition, and then went to the instruments and spent some time using our knowledge of high/low instrument bars and high/low sounds to figure out how to play our composition.
