Beats in a Box (Beginner)
Keyword(s):
This chapter describes a lesson designed for young band students learning to read whole, half, and quarter notes. The lesson can also work for older students using more complicated rhythms. It works well with groups of five to ten students so that everyone can get a chance to make a rhythm on the SMART Board. In this activity students compose and perform short rhythmic compositions. Using quarter notes, half notes, and whole notes (or whatever suits your learning objectives), students create rhythms that correspond to a given time signature. Students then perform the rhythms by clapping, or with instruments.
