Simon Says: Let's Drum!

This interactive music residency engages young students in playing rhythms quickly and easily by using the "Simon says" method to help students practice their listening skills and their ability to follow directions. Each student in the class has a small drum and they practice call and response techniques by playing rhythms on their drums. In addition, they also practice counting by counting out rhythms and the number of notes they are playing by listening and repeating musical patterns.
