2nd grade learning how to relate playing an instrument to reading notes on a music staff and just being kinda cool all around. #youngmusicians #comalfinearts #2ndgrade

2nd grade! We are using instruments that can have a 1:1 ratio. Learning beat vs. rhythm. #comalfinearts

5th grade! Playing instruments, reading the music staff, practicing technique! #comalfinearts

We’ve been talking about Sousa and marching bands. These sweet girls just came to show me their library book! 💗💗💗 #comalisd #comalfinearts #hoffmannlane #teaching #teachingkids #musiced #marchingband #band

@MrVoglewede You’re on the right track. Penta=5 and tonic=tone/sound. Pentatonic is a 5 tone scale. Yes, Pentatonix is a group of 5 members. All the tones in the pentatonic scale sound good together :)

@HLES_Music What does pentatonic mean? Isn’t that a singing group that remixes Christmas songs? ✌🏼

Beginning lessons in how to play, why wood sounds different than metal, and the meaning of PENTATONIC. #4th #4thgrade #instruments #musiced #musiceducation #comalisdfinearts
