7th Grade General Music
In 7th grade
general music, students complete a rhythm composition project. To
prepare for this assignment, we watch clips of Stomp and review note
names/durations. First, students compose their own eight measure rhythm
composition using the online resource, Noteflight. Then, students join a
group of three to four students and combine their compositions into one
document. They will rehearse clapping their rhythm patterns and finally
bring in items from home (pencils, spoons, pans, etc.) and perform
their combined rhythms for the class.
