Shari, thank you for your warm words. Coming from an experienced and respected music educator like yourself, this means a lot. I’m so glad that you’ll be able to put it to use!

This is fabulous! I love how you took an object that is easily accessible and affordable and turned it into an instrument! It replicates how the guiro originated — I believe it was pre-Columbian people who used gourds and created notches in the side to create guiros. I’ll use this song in April, around Earth Day, when we talk about reusing and recycling! The melody is very catchy… I can’t place it yet, either. Nice job singing it with dynamic contrast. Thank you for recommending improvisation as part of the lesson, too. That is a component that can be, but shouldn’t be, overlooked.

I can’t place your song either. Sounds like a Rafi tune. Tom P. maybe.
