In Electro, introduce your kids to some great music from indigenous instruments from Africa! Using your classroom Djembe or Tubanos, learn the music by rote by taking it one rehearsal section at a time (with rehearsal markings [A], [B], [C], and so forth). This is terrific practice with your older students who want to work on alternating hands!

The notation on the first space F is a bass (middle of the drum) and the notation on the 3rd line B is a tone (four fingers near the rim of the drum, pitched a bit higher) At the end, wrap it up and put on a show!

Want to layer it?

• Have shakers play on specified beats (try 2 and 4)
• Have shakers play 16th notes all the way throughout or in specific sections
• Have half the class play 1st and 3rd measures, the other half play 2nd and 4th measures
• Do it in a round! )
• Use this in class, a concert, a parent showcase, admin, faculty and staff, whatever you wish!

Need a fun summer activity for either the end or the beginning of the school year? Check out this rhythm and solfege decoding lesson for Pete the Cat Screams for Ice Cream! Recently published, this book is great for getting kids excited about summer or easing out of it as they re-enter the classroom in the fall. Use either the chant or song to have students chanting or singing along as you read the story to them! Great for grades PreK-2nd.

This'll DEFINITELY get your 4th and 5th Grade boys going (and girls too!)

We're taking a detour and going right into the WWE with a slamming arrangement of the Roman Reigns (The WWE undisputed heavyweight champion) theme song "Head of the Table"

There are three all-color coded slides along with the form identifiers listed next to each phrase. Discuss form with the students and teach them (by rote) the rhythms on the powerpoint with the corresponding repeats (most are repeated 2 or 4 times). Then, apply it to drums!

Note: This arrangement is written in HALF time (don't do it at MM=160, or else you'd end up finishing it way sooner than it needs to be lol)

All regular notation is to be played on the buckets (or drums, or ground, however you wish), and the X notation (with a down stem) are played as stick clicks above their head (or you could apply it to a tambourine or other auxiliary instrument)

Here's the track so you can play along...

Have fun with this and let us know how it goes!

Need to connect with your kids with their pop music through VIDEO GAME MUSIC? Involve them in bucket drumming with the theme that everyone and their brother and/or sister know, The Casino Night Zone Theme from "Sonic the Hedgehog 2"!

There are four all-color coded slides along with the form identifiers listed next to each phrase. Discuss form with the students and teach them (by rote) the rhythms on the powerpoint with the corresponding repeats (most are repeated multiple times). Then, apply it to drums!

All regular notation is to be played on the buckets (or drums, or ground, however you wish), and the X notation that is stacked with quarter notes are played as shots (think like a marching band snare drum -- playing the drum and stick simultaneously as a rimshot or on top of each other -- whatever will you get you the best accent!)

Here's the track so you can play along...

Lots of variations in this one as A theme and intro are repeated throughout but gets a bit more technical at the end -- lots of eighth and sixteenth note groupings -- work on those alternating hands!
