Music: Rhythmic Composition

Third graders are working on combining duple meter building blocks in various ways to create new rhythmic combinations.  After learning a folk song about gardening chores, "Do Do Pity My Case," the girls worked in pairs to write a list of chores.  Then, they determined which rhythmic values to use to notate their text.  Finally, they played their chores list on unpitched instruments.


Here is Mrs. Rogers class sharing their list of chores!
