Getting into Canons


Both 4th and 5th grade began what I think will be at least a few weeks focusing on canon singing. Sometimes called "singing in rounds," canons are great tools for teaching children to sing in parts and recognize pitch. Canons can also be used to make movement pieces more interesting. As pictured here, the fifth grade classes did a very nice job developing a canon around the Keith Terry body percussion piece we learned last week.
