WHILE WE SANG ALONG TO

ZIP A DEE DOO DAH

AND WHILE I PLAYED THE FLUTE

WHAT INSTRUMENT FAMILY

DOES THE FLUTE BELONG TO?

WE ALSO LEARNED TO  HAVE A

GO AHEAD AND SING ALONG TO

A MILLION DREAMS,

WHILE MY DAUGHTER

SARAH LOUISE MOORE

SINGS AND PLAYS THE

UKULELE

THE SONG "A MILLION DREAMS"

CAME FROM THE MOVIE

"THE GREATES SHOWMAN"

TODAY WE ARE GOING TO BE

LEARNING MORE ABOUT THE

PERCUSSION FAMILY INSTRUMENTS

BUT FIRST, BEFORE WE DO...

WE ARE GOING TO

PRACTICE SOME BODY PERCUSSION

BY PLAYING SOME RHYTHM

WITH OUR BODIES

INSTEAD OF USING REAL

PERCUSSION INSTRUMENTS.

THE SONG WE WILL BE PRACTICING 

CAME FROM THE MOVIE

THE GREATEST SHOWMAN.

WHERE "A MILLION DREAMS" CAME FROM

TIME TO LEARN ABOUT THE...

PERCUSSION FAMILY

(8 MINUTE VIDEO)

JUST FOR FUN,

LET'S DO SOME MORE

BODY PERCUSSION

WE ARE NOW GOING TO PRACTICE

PLAYING THE PERCUSSION

TO THE SONG BY THE TROLLS,

I CAN'T STOP THAT FEELING

ALOT OF PEOPLE,

WHEN THEY HEAR PERCUSSION,

THINK OF THE DRUMS

Just for fun, let us now watch

a video of a DRUM competition

with girls against the boys

playing snare DRUMs and bass(base) DRUMs.

(I normally do not show the whole video of the competition in class, due to time. However, I do like to skim through the video, as I watch the reactions of the students. If they really want to see it all, they will let you know.)

For those of you who do not have a snare DRUM

we can use buckets for a DRUM.

The next video is of some young men playing on some

bucket DRUMS. 

Yes, a bucket DRUM is just using a

bucket like a DRUM.

In order to be able to play the drums, 

we need to practice.

Let us now practice on our laps, 
if a bucket is not available,

To the "We Will Rock You" song

Now let us see if you can practice the rhythm

of hitting the beat on a DRUM, bucket, or lap.

But, before we practice the rhythm,

can you tell me what RHYTHM means?

RHYTHM means:

a strong repeated pattern of sound

or movement.

Just like the sound of playing drums.

Okay, now let us practice RHYTHM

playing some different kinds of RHYTHM.

You can pause the video, after each rhythm is introduced,
 and practice it slow,

Now, let us have fun learning how to play the snare drum.

Below is a video on
how to play the snare DRUM

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

I threw in this next video to remind me to do a 

drum circle call and response in class, according to grade level.
