We played some simple 3 to 4 note melody lines on the piano. We played some rhythms on the hand percussion instruments, and talked quite a lot about the castanets. We watched a video of a Spanish man and woman performing some flamenco music on the guitar and castanets. We played some of our own rhythms using the hand drums, maracas, castanets, triangles, and tambourine.
