My Project

I am a high school music teacher. I teach Senior Choir (grade 12), Mixed Choir (grades 9-12), and Piano Playing Fundamentals (grades 9-12). One of the music curriculum requirements is to teach students to feel the beat and produce the steady beat by singing or playing the piano.

The instruments will help all of my students better understand the rhythm concept and produce rhythmic patterns accurately.

My students would be thrilled to play various rhythmic patterns on different instruments. The students will learn to play the beat, feel the beat, and enjoy music-making.

Grades 9-12
