Need to connect with your kids with their 2023 pop music through general music? Involve them in bucket drumming with the #1 smash movie of the summer "Barbie" in Ava Max's "Choose Your Fighter"!

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 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 ther auxiliary instrument)

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