Another Blast From the Past

Fourth Grade and QUEST students give it their best at last year's pioneer musical, Gold Dust or Bust. What a joy to see students pouring themselves into their part and their singing.

These four friends were doing a demonstration of 4-beat rhythms while using bubble gum. I know, what kind of music teacher allows gum in music class?!? This was a neat way for these former 3rd graders to create intentional sounds and silences on the beat. It wasn't easy; they had to chomp on the steady beat and when instructed, blow/pop a bubble on the correct beat!
