Description
Body Percussion ‘On the Beat’ (for ages 7-11)
This music resource helps learners develop skills in maintaining a steady beat through a series of Body Percussion actions. It’s an excellent warm-up activity for weekly music lessons or can be used as a daily starter (or conclusion) to the school day (5 minutes).
This Music Resource Bundle includes:
- Teaching Guide:
- A detailed plan with steps on how to teach the Body Percussion actions included in this resource.
- The performance track, ‘Kenny Gillies of Portnalong,’ is from the CD Mist in the Glen (www.kodamusic.com).
- A link to the Play Along video in the Teaching Guide, which supports learners in following the beat as each action is highlighted.
- PowerPoint Resource:
- PPT slides used in the recorded Play Along.
- A fantastic tool to help learners practice the different actions before playing along with the Body Percussion ‘On the Beat’ Play Along (Track: ‘Kenny Gillies of Portnalong’).
This resource features my original content and I have permission from Keith Dickson of Koda Music to use his music ‘Kenny Gillies of Portnalong’ in the Play Along Video.
