Egg Shakers in Music

We are very lucky to have Miss Versteeg as our music teacher.  She is always coming up with creative ways for us to have fun in the music room.  She has been teaching us to listen carefully and to distinguish between different sounds.

To practise our music listening skills,  we each got to make an egg shaker. Miss Versteeg put out six different materials to fill our eggs with.  After we had filled our egg and decorated them with stickers, we began to listen carefully to the sound that each shaker made. We noticed, that each of these materials sound different, and if you listen closely, you can tell what is inside each one.
