Third graders created their own rhythmic compositions using rhythmic bricks (short rhythmic phrases) with words that connected to the traditional Chinese folksong, Silver Moon Boat, which they will be performing for the Mid-Autumn Moon Festival.
Students created their own 8-beat rhythmic patterns and then combined them with a friend to create a longer rhythmic piece. Each student performed their individual composition and then performed with their partner using rhythm sticks. We used this idea to create a new rhythmic section for their performance of the Silver Moon Boat song, played by the singers of the group on rhythm sticks.
Enjoy these photos of just a few of our composers!
