Playing and creating rhythms is a major part of my music class. Giving kids a safe and creative space to do so is important to their growth as young musicians/artists. In addition to providing opportunities for creativity, drumming has been shown to reduce stress and negative feelings in students. These requested plastic buckets, drumsticks, and The Bucket Book: A Junkyard Percussion Manual will be used to teach the basics of drumming. Students will also get to learn how to play as a band. At the end of each week there will be a performance where students will have the opportunity to display what they have learned during the week. Leading up to the performance we will do lessons that support the rhythm and technique needed for the performance to be successful. Students will also have the opportunity to create and improvise their own rhythm. My school's mission is to educate mentally, physically, and socially. With bucket drumming I can achieve just that while making music!
