Post Covid KS3 Rhythm Workshops

Covid 19 has obviously changed the way we live, work and indeed teach. These rhythm workshops were designed during lockdown as a way to get children back in the music classroom playing, performing and creating music in a safe and covid secure way.
Objectives
To create rhythmic workshops for UK school years 7-9 (ages 11-14) for when schools re-open.

• To re-build confidence
• To develop coordination
• To introduce key areas to new year 7s as well as build on and development ideas studied by years 8 and 9 pre-lockdown.

Challenges

Students only allowed to face front in their designated seating plan.
No percussive instruments to be shared or given out.
No group work.
Material / What you Will Need
Drum Sticks
Mouse mats / foam pads
Drum sticks
A bucket of disinfectant (to sanitise sticks at the end of lesson)
Audio tracks (see list below)

Lesson Format

• Lessons are designed to run for 90 -120 minutes but can be scaled down to two 60 minute lessons if required.
• Lessons are presented on a keynote / powerpoint presentation.

Please note you will need to install the font ‘music sync’ (included in the zip file) BEFORE using the keynotes / powerpoints.

I have done my best to correct the formatting errors caused when exporting from keynote to powerpoint but feel free to make any further adjustments as needed.
