Music Week 27

Stomp project continues-

All classes had a chance to explore ostinato and improvisation this week. We had a lot of creative ideas using this method:

Materials: Push brooms, plywood, garbage cans, paint buckets, extra percussion

Objective: Students improvise own ideas on whatever instrument they are playing
Improvisation: spontaneously creating a rhytmic or melodic idea



Procedure:
1. review ostinato
2. use patterns from last week
3.define improvisation
4. encourage individual improv
-student exploration
-teacher demonstration
5. If time allows, begin composing a routine based on student ideas
