In honor of today’s date, a once-only in human history  music class: 

 

• Say those numbers out loud to the beat—0-2-2-2-2-0-2-2

 

• Get a friend to join you with another way to write today’s date—2-2-2-2-2

 

• Join the two rhythms together and continue speaking the two ostinai:

 

Part 1) 0-2-2-2-/ 2-0-2-2 / 0-2-2-2-/ 2-0-2-2 / 0-2-2-2-/ 2-0-2-2 / 0-2-2-2-/ 2-0-2-2 /

 

Part 2) 2-2-2-2-/2  *  * *   / 2-2-2-2-/2  * *  * /2-2-2-2-/2  * *  * /2-2-2-2-/2  * *  * /

 

• Perform above as body percussion: 0= stamp 2= clap * = snap

 

• Play as above while speaking numbers

 

• Get a third person to recite the following poem over the above ostinato:

 

Two tutors who tooted the flute * * 

Tried to tutor two tutors to toot * *

Said the two to the tutors, ‘tis easier to toot

Or to tutor two tutors to toot? * *

 

• Transfer all of the above to percussion instruments.
