Recycled Rhythm
Performers Nancy Johnson and Dominique Corbeil take students on an in-depth look at how rhythm is written and played. Students will create a string instrument of their own with recycled materials and then play some rhythms on those instruments.
The workshop will include:
Explanation of rhythm, beats, note values
Handout sheet for writing note values
Discussion of how to repurpose things to make music.
Students will learn of a real orchestra where all the instruments are made from recycled materials. Amazing!
