At the end of week 1 we watched one of our girls sing her own composition, "I am Minnie Mouse, I go squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak." Her video was on our social media page. We also tried to play instruments in time together in a small group. It was difficult but it was only our first time!
In Week 3 We tried to play our instruments to the rhythm. See video below
