Music Week 22

This week we began a rhythm composition project in K-2. Here is the process:

Composition Project:

Students will work in groups of 4 and compose a rhythm line using quarter notes, half notes, and quarter rests.


1. Students will draw line on paper
2. Students will create time signature
3. Students will create bar lines and double bar lines and measures
4. Students will begin writing rhythms. Explain that beats in each measure must add up to 4.

Students will write an idea then pass paper to next member in group.
