Storytelling & the Xylophone
Storytelling & the Xylophone
Danny Stock
Who are Wiggle and Waggle?!
Join 1st graders as they learn instrumental mechanics, practice collaborative storytelling, and find joy in music with LMS music teacher Heather Philips. They learned to grip mallets correctly (“Pinch and wrap!”), bounce the head to create different types of sounds, and tell the story of two best friends, Wiggle and Waggle, who travel up and down a mountain to visit each other.
It’s great teaching (and hilarious to watch), and you can enjoy some behind-the-scenes segments at the end, too!
