Fieldston Lower 5th Graders Keep the Beat

Each year, our 5th Graders write, arrange, and perform original songs in small groups. This year, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, music classes did not include singing or visits to the music room, but those limitations did not stop our Music Teachers, Blake Rowe and Bárbara Martínez, from developing dynamic classes for our students! Creative percussion became a theme this year, and our 5th Graders found a way to create their own songs.  

Below, check out one 5th Grade pod’s song — you’ll be tapping your feet all day!
