The Roots of Rhythm curriculum has been designed for fifth and sixth grades but can be adapted by teachers for use with other grade levels. The curriculum supports classroom teachers in integrating music, music-making activities, and related cultural content into classroom curriculums. The curriculum also supports music educators in introducing performance-based drum programs for students. Content and activities align with state and national educational standards.
