Watauga is making music!
At Watauga Elementary School members of the GATE program have been exploring music across the curriculum with the help of Mrs. Bare (1st grade) and Ms.Cupp (music) Students had the opportunity to make homemade instruments using items donated from students and faculty, paint expressively to music, learn sign language to songs, and learn about as well as have the opportunity to play instruments from various countries. The students have also had a chance to learn how to play hand bells to various song selections. The students have really enjoyed learning all the different techniques in playing hand bells and with each student responsible for a different “pitch” bell, they are able to come together and learn what it is like to perform as an ensemble and create music. The students will have an opportunity to perform and display their work to their parents on December 16th.
