I can play the maracas while I'm sitting or while I'm walking around the room!

Marching and playing my finger cymbals is what I like best!
When I make music, I keep moving even if the rest of the class is sitting still!

Children model what they see..
|

If I really pay attention, I can do it just like the teacher!
