Arithmetic & Rhythm Sticks
Baba Jubal Harris

Students replicate and create rhythms of increasing complexity while learning to play rhythm sticks. Exploration of addition and subtraction, patterns, collecting data, and making predictions is enhanced through music and movement in this arts-integrated learning experience. This residency may include drum making, where each student creates their own percussion instrument. At the end of the residency, students play their drums, sing songs, and dance at a performance enjoyed by the school community.
