INFANT TO SCHOOL AGE CLASSESToday we had such fun in music classes singing and performing activities with rhythm band instruments. Traditional rhythm band instruments include:
Tambourines
Hand Drums
Maracas
Triangles
Rhythm Sticks
Cymbals
The picture to the left is a fun CD that I've enjoyed using for the past ten years. In a Calypso style, Frank Leto uses traditional and storytelling songs in a new way to teach about rhythm band instruments, latin rhythms and using words and sounds for instruments to express rhythm (i.e., "Click-click" for rhythm sticks, or "tap-tap" for tambourine.)
Ask your child about the fun storytelling song, "Mr. Boom Boom Bong" and find out what instrument that they played in rhythm band!
