My Project

Help me bring Cardio Drumming to our school!

Inspired by Japanese Taiko drummers, Cardio drumming is an excellent way for students to learn how to drum, keep time, choreography and rhythm all while exercising!

I will use this class set of cardio drums to teach students, Kindergarten through 5th grade different rhythms and choreography routines to various songs. Students will learn how to drum, rhythms, choreography and All of our students will benefit because our school does not music program for our students. Students will perform for their classmates and parents during assemblies and school wide events.
