During this class, students will "make" peanut butter and jelly rhythm sandwiches. Using the words "bread" (quarter note), "jelly" (eighth notes) and "peanut butter" (sixteenth notes), we will create sandwich rhythms together! First, we will practice each ingredient in slow 4-beat measures to get a sense of the beat and how each word (rhythm) fits within a beat. Students will practice using the ingredient words with the teacher first, and then we will work together to create different 4-beat rhythms. Students are welcome to practice the rhythms together, and can incorporate tapping, clapping and stomping to express themselves and perform their rhythms! We will practice using steady beat and the teacher will help students learn how rhythms fit within a beat by showing the rhythmic notations for each pattern that they create. The students will practice taking turns, as well as interact with each other and the teacher throughout the lesson. Learners do not need to have any prior music knowledge. This class will include positive reinforcement and encouragement to create and perform!
Learning Goals
Students will practice rhythmic patterns using syllables in place of rhythmic notation.
Students will practice using a steady beat.
Students will learn to create their own 4-beat rhythms using the ingredient words and a steady beat combined.
Students will work together to create short rhythmic patterns.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hi, I am teacher Amber, and I am so happy to meet you. I am a certified music teacher (K-12) and special educator. I taught music full time for six years as a brick and mortar teacher in a public elementary school, as well as a non-public school for student with special needs. After having my son, I began teaching ESL online and have taught English lessons for the past 2.5+ years. I hold my B.S. in Music Education K-12 and have my M.Ed in Special Education. Growing up, I knew I wanted to be a teacher and have worked with learners ages 1 through 21 in multiple facets since high school.
I have a passion for working with learners of all abilities and allowing them to be creative exactly as they are. I love teaching music concepts to students using fun and engaging activities. I believe children learn best when they are having fun and are in a positive environment. I am always looking for inventive ways to help my students enjoy and remember musical elements. I understand the importance of mulit-modal teaching, and strive to apply this in my lessons to reach all learners.
In my classes, your learner will be met with a kind, encouraging and patient teacher who is ready to teach AND learn! I welcome curiosity and I promise that if I don't know the answer, I will try to find it so I can keep learning too! I am looking forward to teaching lessons on Outschool, and I cannot wait to meet you.Reviews
