Give Me A Groove

Grades 3-6. From the waltz to rock 'n roll, this collection of eighteen grooves will turn your classroom into a well-oiled and fun-filled music-making machine. Percussionist and educator Mark Shelton has broken down and reconfigured basic drum set patterns for classroom instruments, so you can teach the groove and then let your students take the wheel to create their ownarrangements. Each groove includes teaching instructions, substitution options, and a suggested melody written specifically with the abilities of elementary recorder players in mind. A Performance/Accompaniment CD+ PrintableResources is included for your use.
