The 4th grade classes this week have started a unit on World Drumming. World drumming is a fun and exciting way to enhance our musicianship in the classroom. Our objective for this unit are:
- Develop more sophisticated technique on instruments such as rattles, and bells. Include new instruments such as frame drum and talking drum.
- Work with independence of part while stressing interdependence of parts in the more complex Ensemble 3.
- Extend abilities to sing and play as natural behaviors.
- Teach geography and culture of West Coast Africa-- particularly Ghana.
- Integrate large-body movement with hand clapping patterns in a circle.
