| Students replicate and create rhythms of increasing complexity while learning to play rhythm sticks. Exploration of addition and subtraction, patterns, collecting data and making predictions is enhanced through music and movement in this arts-integrated learning experience. This workshop may be expanded to a residency of five or more days which also includes drum making, where each student creates a percussion instrument. By the end of the residency, students play their drums, sing songs and dance at a culminating performance enjoyed by the school community. |
