Week 4!

This week we started on STOMP!  The students got into 4 groups and each had a 4/4 rhythm.  One at a time, the group clapped their rhythms.  Then, they got instruments of things that would be found around their house.  One groups had newspapers, one tupperware, one pots and lids, and one trash cans and pans.  They then did their rhythms with these instruments and created a very cool sounding rhythm song.  They learned all about the off-Broadway rhythm troupe "STOMP" and heard some of their music, as well.

Thursday, we continued with STOMP and did a recording.  John and I are going to stream the recording together with the bass line compositions that they did last week to create a piece of music that is all their own!  Later, we're going to add lyrics and shoot a music video!  The kids are so excited!!!
