2nd graders started off their year with the echo song "Ricka Bamboo." This song helped us practice matching pitch and singing with the correct vocal placement, which was an important refresher after a long summer. After we were familiar with the echoes in this song, students sang a line as a solo to help them further build their independence as musicians.
See the lyrics to the song below:
Oh Ricka Bamboo (oh Ricka Bamboo)
What do I see? (what do I see?)
It is a bird (it is a bird)
High in a tree (high in a tree)
It's red and gold (it's red and gold)
And purple too (and purple too)
That's why it's called (that's why it's called)
'Ol Ricka Bamboo ('ol Ricka Bamboo)
