Throughout the year he learned how to read music and play; the base drum, snare drum, timpani drum, bells, xylophone, tambourine, wood block, temple block, cow bell, sleigh bells, symbols and tam-tam (gong).
5th grade is when music is first taught with instruments (other than the recorder). This was the last concert of the year and I was amazed how much these kids learned in just a single year.
The six boys got to rotate playing different instruments throughout the various school performances. He had the most fun playing the snare drum, bells and temple block. Dragon Slayer was Jackson's favorite song of this concert but he said Batter Up was the most fun to play.
