Drumming Compositions

Here you'll see several of the group drumming compositions. They were asked to compose an 8-measure rhythm in 4/4 time, using a variety of notes (and rests). The grading criteria was as follows:
Correctly written rhythm = 50 points
Correctly performed rhythm = 35 points
Creativity = 15 points
TOTAL = 100 points

Below you will see the group's written rhythm first, followed by a video of their performance!

Group 1 (8th Grade):



Group 2 (8th Grade):

Group 3 (7th Grade):

Group 4 (7th Grade):

Group 5 (8th Grade):

Group 6 (8th Grade):

Group 7 (8th Grade):

Group 8 (6th Grade):

And here is a 7th grade group--I failed to take a picture of their rhythm:

We are the Music Makers . . .

Here are some pictures of the classes working in groups to prepare their performances of their own drumming compositions! As you can see, they worked hard and had a lot of fun!
