A Mile to the Nile - an original Tubano/Djembe Composition
By Jason Litt
In "A Mile to the Nile", introduce your kids to some great music from indigenous instruments from Africa! Using your classroom Djembe or Tubanos, learn the music by rote by taking it one rehearsal section at a time (with rehearsal markings [A], [B], [C], and so forth). This is terrific practice with your older students who want to work on alternating hands, especially with trickier syncopations!
The notation on the first space F is a bass (middle of the drum) and the notation on the third space C is a tone (four fingers near the rim of the drum, pitched a bit higher)
At the end, wrap it up and put on a show! Want to layer it?
Use this in class, a concert, a parent showcase, admin, faculty and staff, whatever you wish!
Have a terrific time with this one :)

This is terrific practice with your older students who want to work on alternating hands, especially in the selected meter of 12/8

We Will Rock You, Queen - CUSTOM BUCKET DRUMMING ARRANGEMENT!
By Jason Litt
Need to connect with your kids with their pop music through general music? Involve them in a custom bucket drumming arrangement with Queen's famous hit "We Will Rock You"
Although us music teachers know that there's a 3 quarter note ostinato throughout the entire song, this custom arrangement challenges your kids with eighth notes sand alternating hands that align with lyrics. Lots of variation in this one!
There are two all-color coded slides along with the form identifiers listed next to each phrase. Discuss form with the students and teach them (by rote) the rhythms on the powerpoint with the corresponding repeats (most are repeated 4 times). Then, apply it to drums!
All regular notation is to be played on the buckets (or drums, or ground, however you wish), and the X notation (with a down stem) are played as stick clicks above their head (or you could apply it to a tambourine or other auxiliary instrument)
Here's the track so you can play along...
