Let's play the spoons!This week we are learning how to play the spoons as a percussion instrument. Playing spoons has long been a part of American folk music in the area around the Appalachian Mountains. Take a look at the following video to see how to grip your spoons and a few basic moves. This next video is also an introduction, but more in depth. This would be suitable for upper grades. Let's apply what we've learned! For the following videos, play each quarter note (Ta) on the palm of your hand with the spoons. Play each pair of eighth notes (Ti-Ti) with an up-down motion between your knee and your other hand. To do the two different patterns in a row, you will need to get used to flipping your hand (the one not holding the spoons) over between patterns.
