Star Wars "Duel of the Fates" TRAP Remix - RHYTHM BASKETBALL!
By Jason Litt
RHYTHM BASKETBALL is in with STAR WARS and it's sure to get your kids singing and bouncing right along -- it's "Duel of the Fates" Trap Remix!
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 4 times).
For this, your students will each have a basketball (can be regulation size or smaller) and bounce their ball on the ground each time they see a Death Star icon. Each Death Star is denoted as a quarter note. The rests are in between each ball for the students to hold the ball.
There's also a "pat" icon with a hand below the Death Star icon itself, so you will have the student hold the basketball in one hand and pat the ball on the beat
Death Star icons that are in pairs are played as paired eighth notes
The track can be found here to play right along:

KING CAT - an ADVANCED Tubano drumming composition!
By Jason Litt
In "KING CAT", 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, especially with trickier syncopations and advanced rhythms such as sequential triplets and sixteenth notes!
The notation on the first space F is a bass (middle of the drum) and the notation on the third space C 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 tambourines or 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!
Have a terrific time with this one :)

Boom and Response (Call and Response for Boomwhackers!)
By Jason Litt
Getting your students to improve on rhythm and melody can't be any easier with "Boom and Response"!
In this resource, there are 3 tracks totally 5 minutes that you can play for your students (and repeat if necessary). Each track is a specific amount of beats for the "Call" (4 beats, 6 beats, or 8 beats) with the same amount of empty beats that follow directly after -- and thats where you students submit their "Response"
You can utilize this in one of several ways:
- Assign boomwhackers to your students and have them play the response (any mixture of rhythms and beats) back to you directly after they hear the call
- Individually listen to each student as they compose their OWN response after they hear the call
- Assign TWO boomwhackers per student and have them play a melodic response to the "Call" they heard
- Separate kids into chordal groups for Boomwhackers (C Major, F Major, G Major, etc) and have each chord take turns during a response (C Major goes first... then F Major can go next, G Major next, and so forth)
- Ask them to utilize dynamics (piano and forte, crescendo and diminuendo, throughout their response) on their Boomwhackers
Or any other crazy way you may think!
Have a great time with this!

Bucket it, DYNAMICALLY! (60 Dynamic Exercises for Bucket Drums!)
By Jason Litt
Ready to talk about Forte and Piano in any of your grades? Bucket it, Dynamically! will get your kids reading dynamics on their bucket drums like a pro!
First, we start off with an introduction to Forte and Piano with a clip from Music K8's animated series (included in the zip file), and then get into the game:
Students are issued their bucket drums and dynamics are shown on the screen. The teacher points to the dynamic (optional) as the kids play along on their buckets while the background music (included) helps them keep on beat!
- 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, the rim, side, or you could apply it to a tambourine or other auxiliary instrument)
After the students master the dynamics, the teacher advances the slide and dynamic shifts get a little harder each time.
There are 5 rounds to challenge your kids over a course of 2 lessons, 4 lessons, or however long you wish
Round 1 - 4 Beats with Forte and Piano
Round 2 - 4 Beats, adding Rests and Multiple Dynamics
Round 3 - 4 Beats, adding in Crescendo
Round 4 - 4 beats , adding in Diminuendo
Round 5 - 6 beats, Rests, Crescendo/Dimunendo, Multiple Dynamics
