The 3rd 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:

• Establish and exciting atmosphere for active, hands on learning.
• Teach basic techniques for conga drum, bell, double bell, and rattle.
• Establish parameters for listening and responding through Echo and Question and Answer.
• Develop the musical teamwork (with independence and interdependence) necessary to play Ensemble 1.
• Connect the music to cultural traditions from West Coast Africa.
