Students begin to create their own rhythms and compose their own drum lines for pop songs by working in groups and using improvisation and notation.

Students will compose, listen and perform for each other using vocals, body percussion and classroom instruments, expanding their knowledge of duration and introducing new rhythms

Students begin to notate heard rhythms (an early look into rhythmic dictations) and take a step towards swung and syncopated rhythms.
