Idioms are Here

This was the first lesson we had that was geared toward a performance. The students seemed to enjoy being recorded. They also were able to do an excellent job at recalling certain idioms they knew and enjoyed creating their own idioms.

When we split in between the song and chant, it was a little difficult for them to understand the pattern. I think this will be clarified next time as we talk about Rondo Form and introduce rhythm.
They are very good at keeping the beat and now need more complex concepts. Next time, we will go into box notation of their chants.

Overall, this lesson was a success, ending in a refined recording of them singing and chanting. I learned that it is alwasy good to overplan your lessons rather than underplan.
