What's inside the magic bag? Percussion instruments! Each week I will be pulling out a different percussion instrument from inside my percussion bag. I will show you how you can make a similar instrument. It can be made from things that can be found around your home, or from your supply of junk modelling items. You will need to search for the items and then build the instrument so that we can play rhythms together. Week 1 Things to bang! We will be looking at instruments that we can bang. I will be showing you my instruments to bang and we will see what we can find around our house to use. We will learn simple rhythms to play on our instruments. Week 2 Things to shake! I will show you my shaking instruments and we will make a shaking instrument together. We will see if we can remember our banging instrument rhythms and play some new shaking instrument rhythms. Week 3 Things to jingle! What can we find that jingles? I'll show you some of my jingly instruments. We will play rhythms with jingles. Week 4. Things to scrape! What different kinds of scraping sounds can we make? Can we mix scraping rhythms with jingling, shaking, and banging rhythms? Week 5 Things made of wood! We will remember which instruments we made that used wood. We will see if we can find any other wooden items in our house to make new instruments. We will play some advanced rhythms! Week 6 Things made of metal! We will play our metal instruments together using advanced rhythms.
