Lesson 2: Struck Idiophones

In this lesson I share music from 2 different struck idiophones- the American Jazz vibrophone, and Balinese gamelan gender wayang.  The children liked the idea that gender wayang was used for  shadow puppet shows.

Here is the lesson plan.
Here is the coloring page.  Print one for each student (double sided).
Here are the visual aides.  If you have the capacity to project these, that would be great.  I have mine in a binder and walk around the tables giving everyone a closer look.



I also point out the geographical origins of the pieces on a large world map.  

Enjoy!
