This is a 30-minute group music experience for a self-contained classroom with diverse ages, experiences, and abilities. The musical experience is based upon gross motor movements of the arms using sticks that go with the steady beat of the music. The music is chosen by the students and the movements are created by the service-learning professor (me). After the students have had sufficient practice time with the teacher-created movements, they will be invited to lead the class in new movements created by their peers.
