40 Essential Rudiments - Vic Firth - 1 views

  •  
    This is a great resource for any percussionist looking to improve or refine their rudiments. Vic Firth has put together a website that includes demonstration videos, play-along tracks at different tempi, and lessons for each rudiment. As a non-percussionist, this website helps my percussionists with rudiments more than I can.
  •  
    This link is the Vic Firth page over the 40 Essential Rudiments for snare drum. Vic Firth is a fantastic resource for anything percussion, but their rudiment page is my favorite because it breaks down each rudiment for the students and they demonstrate each rudiment open-closed-open. This is a great resource to to send with students so they are sure to practice rudiments correctly on their own.

      Excellent site.  Clear explanations of musical terms and processes for self-directed learning by approx. 3rd grade and older, and for younger children along with their parents (musically-trained or not) or teachers. Very friendly and accessible interface.
  •  
    The graphics on this website are amazing- any child would enjoy browsing through and learning about musical instruments, composition, and composers. Also very neat is the game where you can "play" different musical instruments. The numbers on the computer keypad become notes in a scale!

7 Effective Ways to Use Acka Backa in the Music Classroom - PRIMARILY MUSIC - 0 views

    • cheyroseb
       
      Every minute counts!
    • cheyroseb
       
      I love elementary music for this reason-- lesson activities are themed and have fun games attached to them!
  • ou definitely don’t want them just sitting down waiting for the game to end!
  • ...6 more annotations...
    • cheyroseb
       
      This connects to the article I annotated about teaching solfege :)
  • This song is a perfect song to teach and reinforce those rhythms in the lower grades (K-2)
  • Acka Backa is made up of so, la, and mi so if you are looking for a song to teach those pitches this is it!
  • Whoever is out goes to the center of the circle and selects one of the four voices. Whatever voice he or she selects is how we will perform the song the next round.
    • cheyroseb
       
      I like that this version keeps them involved in the game even after they get "out"
  • Use Acka Backa to reinforce steady beat with your little ones. You can have them clap the beat, play rhythm sticks or pass around a ball or bean bag on the beat.
    • cheyroseb
       
      I like the variety of options presented here-- some classes will be able to handle certain options better than others will.
  • Because they have learned Acka Backa in Kindergarten it’s a great way to bring it back when you’re teaching meter and have them feel the beat. I teach Acka Backa in 2/4 meter but it can also be used to teach 4/4.
    • cheyroseb
       
      I think it would be a great example to show older classes *why* it is in 2/4 compared to 4/4 (beat stresses, important words, etc.)
