We all know that kids love hitting things – so why not embrace this enthusiasm and use it to engage your students in a whole range of musical activities! In this workshop, Kaboom will guide participants through a collection of their favourite classroom percussion activities that they have used with students all over the world. Through the use of body percussion as well as simple and inexpensive objects, essential musical techniques and theory are taught in a fun and engaging setting. These games and pieces are designed to be quick to learn and fun to play, with aspects of composition, teamwork, and choreography thrown into the mix that make them scalable in difficulty for primary through to secondary students. Participants will leave the workshop with a collection of activities that they can apply straight away to their classrooms. Come along and hit things with Kaboom!
