Week of April 20-24

Last week students began improvising polyrhythms in groups of 4 to 5. Having students create and sustain their own rhythm demands good listening and focus while playing. This week students will continue to work ingroups to create a polyrhythm they would like to use for their project.

This week we will also be learning about and performing Latin perucussion music. I will introduce bongos, claves, maracas, and the guiro!
