5th Grade Percussion - Where it all begins! -
|
5th Grade percussion students begin their journey in to the world of percussion by exploring the elements of both rhythm and melody.
During class time, students accompany the band playing either snare drum, bass drum, or mallet percussion (xylophone, bells), rotating throughout the week, allowing for equal time on all instruments. In addition to playing with the band, students receive group percussion lessons on a regular basis. Blanco ISD will provide all necessary instruments to be used during class time,however it is required that all beginning percussion students have a percussion practice kit. Kits include a small bell set, practice pad, stands and sticks and mallets for use at home and during group lessons. Many parents have had good luck shopping for a used kit on Craig's list or Ebay. Kits can also be rented on a monthly basis from most music stores. If you are interested in purchasing a new percussion kit, visit the links page on this site for some good places to shop. |
