2nd+Grade+Compositions

A first exploration in instrumental composition. In groups of 3, students were given a mallet instrument of some sort (xylophone, glockenspiel, metallophone), a hand drum or tambourine, and an egg shaker. In these groups students were asked to come up with a plan for a composition that they could perform for the group. To organize their plan, they were given a piece of large plain white paper. They could use any writing utensil (pencil, crayons, markers) they wished to help their plan.
