Tom's Tool Shed by Chris Roode gives young percussionists the chance to bang around on the stuff you find around the house in a way that won't make their parents insane! Program this piece and you can give 5 or more players the chance to clang and clunk around in the shed.
Students working on Tom's Tool Shed will learn about layering basic rhythmic combinations in an ensemble setting, and they'll be given the opportunity to play on non-traditional instruments.
