They're heeeere!

The drums are here! 5th graders have been anxiously awaiting the start of our world drumming unit, and now we're ready to get started! The drums were dropped off during the week of Halloween, so last week, we were introduced to the types of hand drums we'll be playing (tubanos, congas, djembes, and bongos), learned how to play high and low tones, and talked about rhythm complements (ask your 5th grader what that means!). We played our first rhythm complement as an ensemble!

Here is Mrs. Salach's class playing a rhythm complement about 10 minutes into our first drumming class!
