This week Hattie had her chance to attend a Music Camp at Millikin. The name of her program was Orff the Record, named for Carl Orff and his method of music. Orff instruments include anythingn with removable bars and using a mallet...think xylophone. She really enjoyed it. They used boom whackers and drums too.
At the informance...an informational performance, they got to show us what they worked on all week. They read/sang a story called "Follow the Drinking Gourd" about the underground railroad and how they followed the constellation the Big Dipper. They did a train making different sounds and every kid got to perform their own piece on their instrument of choice. Hattie was fond of the gong/cymbal. She's already asking to go to camp again next year.
