Hey Becca! Thanks for this. I'm an elementary percussion teacher. It's been an up and down road teaching kids rhythm and things.

My method is starting with stories. I thought about using different percussion to show how rhythm can be evoked by anything we used, including our bodies. Another is using rhymes, specifically rap. The planning has been tricky, because kid's moods are sometimes all over the place, but it has been fun.

Thanks for this video. I subscribed. :)

I too will grab a cup of nespresso. Thank you so much for this video! I’ve been wanting to figure out how to become a music teacher without going through school for it for some time and I’ve been overwhelmed on how to start. Cheers!

You said something about not seeing a group of kids for 2 months or something? Is that normal where you’re from or is that a covid thing?
