For example, to make quarter notes and pairs of eighth notes, this student used egg shakers for the note heads and then wood blocks and claves for the stems. He used round hand drums for the whole notes. So creative!
Center Time in Music
Center time is a special treat in music class! As a reward for our good behavior and excellent choices, we have centers. One of our newest centers is the rhythm creation center in which students can build and create a rhythm pattern using instruments. This center along with the puppet center and the keyboards are some of our favorite of late!
Then students record in a journal especially for this center what they created. This helps us practice our composition skills as well as our rhythm reading and writing skills.
