Simple Things

This posting to to share the warmup that Juniors classes play when we begin mallet work.  It's called "Sunset" and is written by Konnie Saliba (an Orff Schulwerk teacher--see posting below).

This is a clip of them from Friday.

It's beautifully simple--4 lines put together (one bass line, one melody, and two scaler countermelodies.)  They made me very happy with the beauty in this simple warmup, and I told them I would put them on the blog to make others happy, though it's hard to capture pretty xylophone sounds on my camera.

It's the nature of Sage students often make things as complicated as possible, and when simple things are beautiful, it's important to point them out.
Enjoy!
