Playing through the piece!

- If students seem to be playing with bad technique, have a quiet moment and remind
students to sit on knees, let mallets bounce, and to hold elbows up!

- Go through entire piece with accompaniment with all instruments! - Repeat once if necessary, otherwise, explain other instruments, and when to play
them. Use your imagination and see if you can imagine yourself at sea.!

mallets on oor or on top of bar instruments, and point to the direction they're going!
