Rhythm--we feel it in our feet when we walk across the street. We feel it in the words that we speak. We feel it in our heartbeat. We can make music in the most simple ways, starting at the very heart of our home: the kitchen. This class is part music class, part art class, and all fun! In this course, aspiring drummers and percussionists will get to go on a musical exploration of reading and playing rhythms on different types of "drums" that you already have in your home. We'll start by learning the basics of rhythm and end with learning how to play the rhythm intro from "Cups" by Anna Kendrick! We'll use pre-recorded video lessons, worksheets, listening exercises, and games. Each week will have 2 pre-recorded video lessons with additional lessons on the history of drums, grooves, listening exercises, and more!
Learning Goals
At the end of this course, students will have a basic understanding of elementary rhythms-- whole notes, half notes, quarter notes, eighth notes, and sixteenth notes.
