Yesterday, we had some members of the Percussion unit of the Winston-Salem Symphony come to our school and demonstrate their instruments. They brought several types of drums (including some from West Africa). They had triangles, wood blocks, cymbals, and the marimbas. It was very interesting to hear all the different kinds of songs they could play just using these instruments.
It will be very exciting to hear the entire symphony play when we go to the Mary Starling Concert in the spring. It is always one of my favorite parts of 5th grade.
Which percussion instrument was your favorite?
