In this first episode of a two-part deep dive, Anne and Victoria outline two actionable sequences for starting the process of rhythm arranging with young musicians. Anne shares a layered arranging activity with the song, Apple Tree. Victoria shares a movement-based arranging activity with the rhyme, Zapatitos Blancos. Both activities encourage students to experiment with rhythmic durations in a focused and intentional way, while maintaining a playful spirit of exploration. Whether this is your first time facilitating a rhythm arranging experience for your students, or you’ve been leading rhythm arranging for a long time, this episode has something for you!
