My Project

We are getting ready to do centers after spring break and these otamatones will be perfect for one of the stations! They are so great for melodic exploration, aural skills, and composition. Plus they are super fun!

The possibilities with otamatones are endless in music class!

You play them like a slide guitar and can do cool sound effects with their faces by opening and closing their "mouths." We explore high and low sounds in early childhood and lower elementary and these are great for identifying high, low, ascending, and descending. I am so excited to add them to the music room!
