There is no question that the single most important wish of students in the music room is to play instruments! Once steady beat is established, students are ready to combine that with rhythm patterns. Students learn that playing instruments with others does not always mean playing all the time. In fact, different instruments can be playing different things at the same time! We learn to speak the rhythms, clap the rhythms, and finally play them on instruments. Students learn basic notation for reading rhythms. The instruments we play are called rhythm percussion instruments. The below video shows students over several weeks of using these instruments. Enjoy!
