Less than $5 7th Grade Other (Music) PowerPoint Presentations (by price, high to low)

In Own the Beat or Take a Seat the teacher will play a four to eight beat rhythm (as displayed on the powerpoint). After teaching them the rhythm, the entire class will perform the rhythm back in unison

Then, the teacher will ask the class to repeat the rhythm a certain amount of times (1 time, 2 times, 4 times, etc)

What do students have to do? OWN THAT BEAT...!

• Students will perform the rhythm on rhythm sticks, drums, Orff instruments, their hands, their laps, however you do it!

• Students will have to focus on performing that rhythm exactly how it is written

• ... and of course, focus on repeating the rhythm for the EXACT many times as stated ... or else...

TAKE A SEAT! If a student plays an extra beat or an extra part of the rhythm after the class has ended playing it, they have to take a seat (either on the floor, in the circle, on their chair, however you want to do it)

The class will then repeat the rhythm again the amount of times listed until it is played without an extra beat or part of the rhythm. The ones who took a seat are allowed to stand back up again and join the game already in progress

...Then you go to the next level!

Play the rhythm 5 times....
Play the rhythm 6 times...

_Play the rhythm 7 times....
_
(but of course if there's an extra beat... that student takes a seat, and you go back to performing where you left off to get that student back in!)

THEN ONTO THE NEXT LEVEL

Dependent on how fluent your class is, you can use this as part of a lesson, a good chunk of it, or even continue it onto the next weeks lesson to see how good they really are (and what level they can get to)

Play it with a ten minute time and keep score of which class can get the highest by the 3rd week or the 4th week?

Possibilities are endless!

Play it as is or some background music (I like to throw on some 80s, 90s, or clean pop just to get a groove going). Enjoy this game

Right in time for your Christmas instrumentalists, we present to you Jose Feliciano's smash hit Feliz Navidad for BUCKET DRUMMING!

There are six 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 (all are grouped 3x + 1x). 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)

Even though it's a chorus/verse rotation over and over again (as you music teachers know the chart by heart), the arrangement has a bit of variations in rhythm ;)

Here's the track so you can play along...

Need to connect with your kids with their pop music through general music? Involve them in bucket drumming with a flashback to the 1970s with the ever-popular "YMCA" from The Village People!

There are seven 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 2 or 3 times). Then, apply it to drums!

• Although a lot of the verses and choruses are the same in the composition, the rhythms are switched up each time so they kids don't bore themselves out ;)

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)

In AMONG OPPOSITES, students will see a musical trait on the board represented by one crewmate. Students will then have to find the EXACT OPPOSITE trait by selecting one of the crewmates... who is actually the imposter!

Students will choose the exact opposite musical trait... advance the slide and see if they were right!

After the correct answer is shown, the following slide will give a brief description of the answer and why it was the opposite of the example shown
You can have students write it down, play it team A vs team B, boys vs girls, individually as an assessment, or even assign it as distance learning!

Included in this resource are

• a PDF and PowerPoint File (with animations)
• A printout where you can replicate and cut out cards (if you want the students to place on the floor or hold up to show which one was the imposter)
• Examples of Articulation Markings, Dynamics, Instruments, Vocal Ranges, Expressions, and more

Have a great time with this!

By popular request, here's an arrangement of the holiday hit that'll sure to get your bucket drumming kids fired up, Wizards in Winter, by the Trans Siberian Orchestra!

There are six 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 2 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 that is stacked with quarter notes are played as shots (think like a marching band snare drum -- playing the drum and stick simultaneously as a rimshot or on top of each other -- whatever will you get you the best accent!)

Here's the track so you can play along...

Breaking out into the United States with a smash new album, here's the mildly addicting number from BTS, "Permission to Dance" for Bucket Drumming!

There are four color coded slides along with the form and instrumental 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 once, 2 or, 3 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 background track for you to play along with!

Need to connect with your kids with their pop music through general music? Involve them in bucket drumming with the hit 80s-esque theme from the from the Disney movie Frozen II with "Lost in the Woods"! (I personally love this one) ;)

There are four color coded slides along with the form and instrumental identifiers listed next to each phrase. Discuss form with the students (a great way to talk about the variations of the theme with inclusion or exclusions of certain instrument groupings) and teach them (by rote) the rhythms on the powerpoint with the corresponding repeats (most are repeated once, 2 or, 3 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)

This one is great to work on 16th note triplets -- work on those alternating hands! :D

Uptown Funk (CLEAN), Mark Ronson - BUCKET DRUMMING!

With “Rhythms Around the Horn”, students will see four rhythm squares on the powerpoint (or PDF), all of them containing different rhythms.

For starters, have the entire class perform rhythm 1 (with instruments, vocalizing, clapping, patting, etc), then rhythm 2, then 3, and then finally 4.

After students understand the rhythms, then you can have the rhythms all be performed several different ways...

• Assign an instrument to each number and have them repeat their rhythm
• Example: #1 will be shakers, #2 will be tambourines, #3 will be hand drums, #4 will be guiros
• Example: #1 will be bass xylo, #2 will be soprano xylo, #3 will be alto xylo, #4 will be glockenspiel
• Example: #1 will be C and D boomwhackers, #2 will be E and F boomwhackers, #3 will be G and A boomwhackers, #4 will be B boomwhacker
• Assign an instrument to each number and have them rotate throughout the numbers (1, 2, 3, 4)
• Assign an instrument to each number and have them repeat the rhythm 2 times, 4 times (or however long you wish) and move to the next number to do the same thing
• Assign all instruments to start at the beginning, but at different times (a canon or a round).
• Example: Instrument 1 will play #1 first, then #2 consecutively, then the second instruments begin on #1 when the first are on #2, and so forth
• Go backwards, 4, 3, 2, 1
• Or maybe a free for all – have students pick their favorite number and repeat

There are 4 levels of rhythms all with increasing difficulty

• Quarters and Eighths
• Half Notes
• Eighth Note Rests
• Triplets

Have a great time with this!

A brand new follow up to the Rainbow Recorder series, reimagined for the current age, we present "RECORDER IMPOSTER!"

Recorder Imposter focuses on 9 original compositions that your new (and even advanced) recorder students will love. We bring it back to the beginning and learn how to connect the lines and spaces on the staff to note names and have students begin to memorize the notes, rather than the letters. We gradually scaffold into more difficult music by adding on new notes and rhythms.

Included, you will receive a 9 page PDF file (reproducable for your students or as a teacher guide) and 9 accompaniment tracks for each "Imposter".

Your students are GUARANTEED to love these with lots of original hip hop background tracks (you would never know how cool playing a whole bunch of A's and B's are until you play along to this!) ;)

Beginning at the Purple series, there is a beginning and advanced mp3 in case you have a superstar student who wants to tackle the advanced version (which is about 25 bpm faster than the regular version)

An alternate version with the note names are available, please contact me at jasonlitt@gmail.com if you'd like that as well.

As always, please feel free to let me know if you have any questions and enjoy!

Need to connect with your kids with their pop music through general music? Involve them in bucket drumming with Justin Timberlakes smash hit, "Can't Stop the Feeling"!

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 4, 6, or 8 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...

TREBLE CLEF FOUR CORNERS!

· To play Four Corners, ensure all students understand the lines and spaces of the staff (bottom line E to top line F).

· Number each side of the room 1, 2, 3, and 4 (or alternatively, color code it green, blue, red, or purple with floor tape)

· They will hear a 9 second timer. Students will have a chance to walk to one of four corners and stay there for the duration of the round.

· On the next slide, the treble clef notation will appear in each corner and you will see a letter name from the Treble Clef Staff

· The students will have to guess which treble clef notation it is by showing it with their fingers (1, 2, 3, or 4)

· The teacher then reveals to the students which treble clef note it was (#1, #2, #3 or #4) and the students who are in that corner are OUT!

· Keep repeating until no kids are left!

Included are 12 examples (you can switch it up each time and do different notation each time), the 9 second timer embedded in the powerpoint file, and instructions

Want a great way to entice some of your boys in your general music class? Try GAME ON!, a gaming themed rhythm challenge that will suit all of your students, especially some of those gamers out there!

In “GAME ON!”, students will see a popular game or game series for multiple consoles (Xbox, PlayStation, etc)

They will then use rhythm cards provided in their “bank” of cards to build out the name of the game in a rhythm they feel best fits the name. There will be a series of one beat spaces to give the students a clue on which cards fit in which beats – be very specific as only a few cards will be chosen out of the bank

Advance the slide and find out the students’ rhythm and see if it matches the rhythm on the screen.

You can use this an assessment for all students or even see if they can identify it in a certain amount of time (10 seconds, 15 seconds, etc). Even try a boys vs girls or team vs team to see who can get it the fastest!

Included are 12 game titles and a printout of triplets, quarters, and eighth note pair cards for your students.

Have a great time with this and GAME ON!

RHYTHM FOUR CORNERS!

· To play Four Corners, ensure all students understand quarter notes, eighth note pairs, half notes, and quarter rests.

· Number each side of the room 1, 2, 3, and 4 (or alternatively, color code it green, blue, red, or purple with floor tape)

· They will hear a 9 second timer. Students will have a chance to walk to one of four corners and stay there for the duration of the round.

· On the next slide, the rhythms will appear in each corner and you will play back one of four the rhythms (provided on the Teacher Guide powerpoint). You can use that or you can play a rhythm of your choice (up to you!)

· The students will have to guess which rhythm the teacher played by showing it with their fingers (1, 2, 3, or 4)

· The teacher then reveals to the students which rhythm it was (#1, #2, #3 or #4) and the students who are in that corner are OUT!

· Keep repeating until no kids are left!

Included are 18 examples (you can switch it up each time and do different rhythms each time), the teacher guide, the 9 second timer embedded in the powerpoint file, and instructions

By popular request, here's an arrangement of the holiday hit that'll sure to get your bucket drumming kids fired up, First Snow, by the Trans Siberian Orchestra!

There are four 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 3 or 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)

More on the hit list with your bucket drumming kids, we venture into the anthem from the 1980s with the Tom Cruise film delighting audience worldwide, we present "Theme from Top Gun" from the movie of the same name!

There are six 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, 6, or 8 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...
