Not yer momma's band hall



How does Christine do a refresher with her kids on counting music?

Take some rhythms written out on paper.

Two markers drumsticks per kid.

Speakers.

"Play That Funky Music" (Wild Cherry) on the iPod.

We went through four different patterns. Practiced, and then cranked the music. I would switch around from page to page ... mix it up.

Not fancy. Not perfect. Very loud. LOTS of moovin' to the groovin.

Holy crap, that was fun.

Next time ... Gaelic Storm, baby. Gotta' churn out some more tricky time signatures.

That's a great idea! For some reason it never occurred to me to go over basic music rhythms. YAY!

Blessings!
