Classes can be crazy this time of year, especially when you are preparing for a concert! If you find yourself with a bit of time that needs to be filled, here is a fun game to play! It takes “Hot and Cold” to a whole new level!! When one is far from the object, one sings or plays a whole note, as it will take a long time to find it! When one is quite close, one can sing or play sixteenth notes, as the object will be quickly found! Enjoy!
