​

DESCRIPTION:  

Drumming together while we are apart! This virtual class will introduce basic drumming techniques and music perception, as well as aural recognition. Our 6 week class will culminate in the performance bucket-drumming piece. All created pieces will be recorded and edited to make a multi-screen video for the students to keep. 

​

Bucket drumming provides a unique, fun learning environment for children. It allows them to:

• Collaborate while developing self-expression

• Learn to play a variety of rhythms using buckets, sticks, plastic cups, tambourines, guiros, and shakers

• Develop hand-eye and foot-eye coordination

• Increase self-discipline and active listening

• Gain an understanding of melody and syllables

• Provide a steady beat/pulse along with recorded music (both pop and children’s music)

• Perform in front of an audience

CLASSES: Offered as a 6 week course, Drop in and also Pop Up classes will be coming soon! 

GRADES:  K-2nd and 3rd - 5th combination classes are offered.
