Subject: Re: [MK8] Routines when teaching a la cart

Similar to Dana's idea but have this week's "captain" improvise a BP or pencil/clapping beat echoed, possibly passed around, added on, 'complemented' etc. No singing, creating, student lead, fingers busy, independent of teacher, etc.Have one student 'teach' holding up rhythm cards for others to perform. Best of luck!Sent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone
