Children will learn the basics of bucket drumming, and create their very own, signature bucket drumming rhythm during this pulsating experience. Using buckets, kids will experiment to see what types of sounds they can get their bucket to make, learn the 4 main sounds of bucket drumming, practice copycat rhythms, and work on musical notation using an anchor chart.
This experience will lay a musical foundation for kids, teaching them the difference between the beat and rhythm of a song. All of it will come together in the creation of a unique song or bucket drumming rhythm. The first of many, as children begin to build a repertoire!
This experience may include educational videos of professional bucket drumming, particularly if children are unfamiliar with this extraordinary musical technique and ability to make incredible sounds and rhythms from non-traditional instruments.
