Bucketeers: Percussion for Kids
Description
Bucketeers use an innovative color-coded system applied to five-gallon buckets to allow children to learn & experience the art of percussion. Special multi-rod drumsticks help keep the volume down and seat cushions provide a comfortable experience. Benefits include forging a foundation in rhythm, playing with a steady pulse, learning a variety of patterns, participating in collaborative movement activities, and developing hand-eye coordination. Students play along with a diverse set of music: children’s, pop, rock, jazz, and multi-genre songs in several languages incorporating beats and patterns from around the world. Each class doubles as a rehearsal building towards an end-of-session performance.

Drummers will be introduced to several music skills and concepts throughout the session including:
Stick Technique | Dynamics | Song Structure | Improvisation | Call & Response | Tempo | Melody | Timbre
