Building Your Classroom Curriculum
Your curriculum, along with your learning objectives and students’ abilities, will help you select the right balance of shakers, scrapers, metals, drums, and woods. Thirty cowbells playing the timeline for Ensemble I of the “World Music Drumming Curriculum” would be a bit much, but it would be perfect for a performance of “Click, Clack, Moo! Cows That Type!”
- Stretch your budget by choosing instruments known for durability, quality, and sound
- Do you need a tubano for every student? Maybe, but first make sure you have purchased a balanced variety of instruments and sounds.
