Join Andyroo on a quest to find the beat! Kids will practice following a pattern and become familiar with the concept of the beat in music. They will be introduced to tempo and gain experience playing the beat on non-pitched rhythm instruments at various tempos. They will learn the term “beats per minute” and use > and < to compare songs of varying BPM. This activity will culminate in the creation of a rhythm piece with tempo changes using the Andyroo song(s) Tumbleweed and/or Animal Song.
