In PreK-3 music class we do a lot of work with feeling the steady beat. Today the students were listening to a selection of African Drumming and they wanted to join right in with the music. We started by walking, on the beat, around the drums. Then when students felt ready they took turns playing this beat on the drum. It was lovely to see how the students naturally took turns with the walking and the playing, all while keeping that steady beat in their bodies.
