- “Up on the Housetop”

- “Christmas Chopsticks”
- “Holidays are Here”
- “Over the River”

- find some demonstrations of bucket drumming under black light so you can view how to create a unique performance for virtual concerts.
Bucket drumming is fun and has lots of audience appeal.

When students are successful, play along with the music. Remember that you can adjust tempo by selecting the “gear” wheel on the bottom right corner of the video.
