Third grade has been preparing an old English Christmas carol called "Ding Dong Merrily on High" for our holiday program. Even though we have discussed in class the history of the song and how it is at least 200 years old, it has a modern Irish sounding arrangement with a strong drum beat in it.
We will be having drummers on stage during this song.
The drum part is a repeating pattern, but it is still tricky because the hands alternate.
I will be auditioning for this drum part in class sometime next week.
If your child would like to audition for this part and wants to practice ahead of time, here is a video I created with a fellow music teacher to help them learn it.
PLEASE NOTE: We created it to mirror the students when they watch it. They should begin with their right hand.
