Looking to add some rhythm to your classroom? Well, Rhythm set might be your jam! All about the musical instruments from the Percussion Family, this kit is a great way to get your students excited about both musical practice and musical education and theory.
This kit includes 27 percussion instruments that are recommended for use in the pre-school or elementary classroom along with information on the instrument’s name, classification and origin or background. This kit also provides lesson plans and suggestions on how to play the instrument effectively and safely, as well as ways that these instruments can be integrated into the classroom.
This kit acts as a great introduction to the theory surrounding beat and rhythm. Divided into the categories of Non-Pitched Percussion and Pitched Percussion, this kit offers students with a better understanding surrounding the Percussion Family. The instruments in this kit are also grouped according to the material the item is made up of—metal, skin or wood—and thus encourages an understanding of the engineering behind musical instruments. This kit is a great way to educate students on musical theory in a creative and fun way.
The Rhythm set activity kit is currently on display on the ground floor of the OISE Library, next to the Circulation Desk—OISE students, please feel free to check it out!
