“The percussion march” from heart to heartMaking percussion instruments out of recycling

materials in “parpar nechmad” kindergartenParpar Nechmad class who visits the musical enrichment center in Acco, learned the “children marching “ medley. Together with their teacher Sofi Biarsky, they marched with the medley, played it by a rhythmic score, learned about the musical beats, about the rhythm etc.

For the closing ceremony of the program , the parents were invited and participated in a workshop with their children .

The children collected a lot of recycling materials which helped them invent new marching percussion instruments.

It is also the first time that the children and their parents took part in the” musical bridge” program. They were asked to write a blessing card for the children of Ohio

They were also asked to write rhymes about music and children and to perform it with the musical instruments that they invented We promised the children and the parents to send pictures from the workshop to you so…. Enjoy!
