  1. Lillian B. –

    My kids really loved doing this. I gave them the opportunity to work in groups and come up with as many patterns as they could. Then they performed their compositions for the class, counting the rhythms and playing the drums. They were really engaged, and they are excited to do more difficult rhythms! This is a win!

    • Yellow Brick Road Music –

      I’m thrilled to hear that they connected with it and are excited to do more!

  2. Ernest Stokes –

    Love using the rhythm pieces to compose! Gives students a chance to work on their ideas before writing them.
