All you got are rhythm sticks for classroom equipment? Or do you need something else to do with them other than keep a steady beat?

Put some creativity in your lesson with a rhythm stick read-a-long featuring Aaron Copland's famous piece "Hoedown" from his ballet "Rodeo"!

In this resource, you will see the entire arrangement structured across 6 slides in coded colors with the corresponding repeats. There will be eight boxes that hold each beat along with one of three action icons.

• Sticks - Click your sticks together
• Quarter Note - Hit your sticks on the ground (or chair or desk or lightly on your lap)
• Quarter Rest - Rest

Teach the entire thing line by line through a rote method and play through at the end!
