"The demonstration given by Jane Rigler was very exciting. Students of all ability levels participated...They manipulated pitch, rhythm patterns and various sound effects using gross-motor skills. I watched students come out of their shells and participate in spontaneous creative music-making. They worked in a collaborative format and they enjoyed performing for one another." "Students with limited fine motor skills could participate on equal footing with their peers. The unlimited sounds and rhythmic patterns can provide a stepping-off point for other musical activities such as instrument identification, listening skills, the study of musical elements (dynamics, pitch, rhythm, etc.), and the study of musical genres."
