As part of our rhythmic study, the second grade was given the following assignment:
Compose a three-measure rhythmic composition using 1/4 notes, 1/8 notes and/or 1/4 rests. Your time signature is 4/4 (four beats to a measure).
Students created individual compositions and we clapped a few of them together as a class. They were then put into small groups and were asked to create on collaborative pieces combining their compositions. They were given the option to use drums, shaker eggs or rhythmic sticks and were encouraged to incorporate other elements including movement, melodic interludes or postludes, other rhythmic patters as "fills" or as an alternate section to their pieces. Below are a few images of their collaborative and creative hard work.
Enjoy!
