At the end of the school year, I wanted to reinforce the notes B A and G or mi, re, and do in 3rd grade general music. They learned to read and perform the notes B A and G on the treble clef staff through singing, performing on the recorder, and performing on the Korg X50 keyboards that we used when we visited the grades 4-8 music lab. In this project, they were given guidelines on how to create a background accompaniment to the B A and G improv that they would record in GarageBand. They were given a style and created a four-measure intro, an eight-measure accompaniment, and then a four-measure coda. As you can hear, they improvised during the eight-measure accompaniment. This 3rd grader decided to use a synthesizer sound as his improv instrument. Please remember that this is a 3rd grader. He did a nice job.
