Music Around the World Week 4--South America

What an exciting day we had at our Music Around the World Club today! We learned all about South America and one of their favorite instruments--the rainstick. After exploring some of the special places you can visit in Brazil, we were able to learn about a day in the life of a boy from Brazil. We also saw some of the different ways that you can make a rainstick. We enjoyed learning about the rainstick so much that we decided to make our very own rainstick. Then, we were treated to a visit from a guest musician--Mrs. Sheri! She is a very talented lady who can play the piano, guitar, and ukelele! She also sings like an angel! :) She shared her musical gift with us and allowed us the privilege of singing "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" with her. We also reviewed one of our favorite songs, "Kookaburra" with her, as she played the guitar. We had such a fabulous day and can not wait until next week! Here are some pictures and a video from our exciting day! Leave us a comment and let us know what you think!

  1. I love the sound of rain and the sound of rain sticks. I think you helped bring us some rain over the weekend! Keep up the great music!

  2. Rain sticks are so fun! Did you see the double rainbow we had this weekend? Maybe our "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" song helped to send us a couple of rainbows too! :)
