Sound Ideas: Activities for the Percussion Circle Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book was not what I expected from reading the synopsis.As a music teacher, I can only use about one third of the content.The two main problems are: 1. a majority of the activities are geared toward classroom teaching (creative writing, science, history, geography) which are remotely related to music; and 2. Several activities are too complex to be a practical use of the limited time a music teacher has with students.

I wish this book had been marketed as what it was, instead of being played out as a "music" book.It had very little to do with music or percussion circles.

Hands On- A Rockin' Rhythmic Romp (30 pieces for hand percussion) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Great book.Love the words that go along with the rhythms.Most content seems geared to elementary, but I teach in an urban area, so my kids may be more worldly than some.For middle school, the teacher could change some words to reflect more of their interests.Love that the repertoire gets so complex and interesting by the end.
