Rhythm sticks provide a great way for young students to have an active performance experience and learn to read rhythms. With the advent of "bucket bands," the experience has become even more fun. Bucket bands, in their simplest form, are groups of players using upside down utility buckets as drums. This creative collection brings you six new seasonal arrangements that can be performed with just the tracks and rhythm sticks, or by a young bucket band, or by combining the two. By purchasing this collection, you get parts for each group, as well as teaching suggestions. There are also ideas for forming a beginning bucket band, and downloadable scores that combine a lead sheet with both parts.
