National Award-winning Music Teacher, creator, and percussionist K. Michelle Lewis worked with some of our SPARK students to help create super fun & meaningful routines for songs by Georgia Artists including:
Stand by R.E.M.
Old Town Road by Lil Nas X
Hey Ya! By OutKast.
We used parts of each routine. The Body Beats Team: Advika, Ilan, Fiona, Noa, Maddy, Kayden, & Cate.
Michelle also created the routines for Ain’t No Mountain High Enough & I Feel Good
Thank you to: Dr. Sara Womack and the #APSArtistsCollab for funding for this project.
Other routines from our Showcase came from or were inspired by:
Maria Ellis created the Soulfege Slide. She is a Music Educator and Conductor from St.Louis, MO and she was also our GMEA District 5 Honor Chorus conductor!
Kaboom Percussion At its core, the Kaboom team are passionate about harnessing the fun side of music, showing the world that music can be played with even the simplest of objects.
Musication music+education+gamification = musication. "musication" is a private channel from Jan Vink, music teacher in the Netherlands (Primary education). He creates visual playalongs for boomwhackers, (body-) percussion and handbells for primary education.
Additional moves for Stand by R.E.M. were inspired by Murmuration by Sadek Waff Instagram
