Mallet Madness

From master-teacher Artie Almeida comes this exciting collection of activitiesfor mallet percussion instruments that will energize your classroom. MALLET MADNESS uses songs, poems, music-to-literature connections, and reproducible flashcards to promote learning in the concept areas of beat, rhythm, melody, harmony, form and expressive qualities. Thanks to its unique rotation system, your students will play all of the mallet percussion instruments in your classroom, as well as many of the non-pitched instruments. Suggestions for adapting the activites for use in classrooms with few, or even, no mallet instruments are also given. Whether presented as a unit or spread over a semester or school year, your students will love MALLET MADNESS and you will love the skills and musicality they develop during these lessons.
