12th Grade Vocal Music Activities

Need to connect with your kids with your hits (and have your cake and eat it too?) Involve them in bucket drumming with the classic hit from the 2002 smash movie "Top Gun: Maverick" in "I Ain't Worried" by OneRepublic!

There are three 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 in groups of 3 times and 1 time)

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...
