Hopping Rhythm Squares Duet
Purpose of this lesson:
This game is an embodied way of understanding about playing a piece of music together with some one. We have to play our own part and we have to keep an awareness with the other.
Level 1- Students learn about starting and stopping together.
Level 2 - Students learn about staying together through the piece (hops).
Level 3 - Students learn to stay in time or entrained together.
Student learn to celebrate their success and partnership by sharing a 'high five' or 'high ten' together.
Sometimes this can help two students to constructively work together that haven't had much to do with each other or haven't gotten along.
