Summary
The central focus of the 3 lesson unit is on the creation of rhythms in a meter of 4 using triplets and sixteenth notes in standard notation. Students will create rhythms in measures on a staff in a meter of 4, will perform rhythms using body percussion and instruments, will apply triplet and sixteenth note rhythms, and will discuss and collaborate in group composition activities, resulting in a composition assessment.
