1st Grade Mallet Madness!

We have been having a blast in 1st grade music recently with the addition of some "Mallet Madness".  The kids are learning about instruments and getting to play in a rotation style while learning about using their hands in alternating patterns and together.  We've been also trying to play duets of rhythm with our mallets and our drums.  The video below shows one of my best direction following classes trying out some mallet patterns and showing you a rotation!  Hope you enjoy!
