Capture the spirit of calypso, zydeco, bossa nova, gospel, jigs, jazz
and more with this unique collection of global rhythm styles. Each
ensemble includes 3 to 4 rhythm parts for classroom percussion
instruments, and one part is always the pulse, so even your youngest
students can join in! There are also body percussion parts to help learn
the rhythms before the instruments are distributed, and when there
aren't enough instruments to go around. Optional Orff instrument parts
and piano are also included for additional layers of tone color! The
enclosed CD offers two recorded tracks for each groove: an instructional
track and a play-along track without the percussion instruments for the
flexibility of adding any number of performers. PDFs of all the parts
are also included on the Enhanced CD. All parts are 4 to 8 measures, and
once they are secure, the parts can be layered in one-at-a-time, in
different orders. You decide! Then add your new world groove
accompaniments to different songs in these styles from your music
library! There is even an overall theme song called “The Beat of the
World” for your students to experience. Let the spirit groove you! Music
grooves include: Calypso, South African, Hora, Gospel, Irish Jig,
Zydeco, Rock and Roll, Bossa Nova, American Jazz, Irish Reel. Available:
Book/Enhanced CD. Suggested for grades 3-6.
