From Happy Teachers Using These Winter Holiday Music Activities
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Melodic Music Room - My 4th-grade classes are performing this piece on Orff instruments. They are loving every second of it. I like that it has a simple form and comes with piano accompaniment, so I can play along with them. ..... I will definitely keep doing this in future years.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Christina C. - So much fun! Loved that it is leveled so many of my classes can participate at the level they are at! Thank you!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My students absolutely loved performing this song. They were "blown away" by the harmonies (the thirds) and enjoyed the Afro-inspired rhythms.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Theresa M. - We do not have Orff instruments at my school, but we successfully performed this piece at our Christmas concert with homemade Boomwhackers. The drum part is very exciting for the kids. This is another quality resource by Frau Musik.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Farrah F. - I used African Noel with my 4th and 5th graders that come to me for enrichment. I love how there are different options for use with keyboard instruments or unpitched percussion..... We rotated through different combinations of parts so they were able to play a variety of instruments. I liked how the slides progressed, ..... The kids felt like they really accomplished something when we were through.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Jennifer M.- My students loved this! I have a 2/3/4 split class, so the differentiated rhythms allowed me to assign instruments to different grades. They performed it at our school Christmas concert - it was a huge hit!
