5th Grade Drumming Compositions
The fifth graders have been working on an African Drumming unit this year. They have learned about complimentary rhythms, and maintaining a part within a group. Their final task was to create their own drumming ensemble using complimentary patterns. We're so proud of what we created!

5th Grade Pattern Compositions
**Coming Soon**
After studying Edvard Grieg's "In the Hall of the Mountain King", the 5th grade students created their own "pattern compositions." They learned that Grieg used a simple repeated pattern and made it interesting by changing the dynamics, tempo, texture, and instrumentation. The students then created their own patterns and used those same changing elements to keep them exciting and interesting. The project took 2 or 3 class periods, and the results were awesome!
