Rhythm Adventure!
 |
Adventures in Rhythm is a 3-15 day residency where students learn to compose, choreograph, and perform their own rhythm compositions using brooms, pots, pans, bottles, buckets, trash cans, and more! Students will also learn a neutral syllable rhythm counting system that is highly effective and easy to learn. Even your most challenged students can quickly be acclimated. Adventures in Rhythm residencies are creative, engaging, very energetic, and based on the world famous S.T.O.M.P. percussion troupe. Perfect for schools with limited budgets for conventional instruments or teachers wanting to start their own "STOMP-like" percussion ensemble. Adventures in Rhythm is appropriate for students 2nd grade and up. This residency can be presented as a Character Through the Arts Program, focusing on teamwork, personal responsibility, and determination. Lesson plans and helpful tips for assessment can be provided. Adventures in Rhythm also offers teacher workshops and inservices. Topics can include effectively teaching rhythm to elementary and middle school aged students, rhythm composition, and how to begin your own "STOMP-like" percussion ensemble. |
