Happy New Year!

Welcome back after a restful break for an exciting 2017. We have lots of fun units planned in the next few months, and we are starting January off with one of my favourite units: Body Percussion!

What is body percussion?
Body percussion is using your body as an instrument. This includes snapping, stomping, patting, clapping, voice, etc. 

Learning Goals
Our goal with this unit is to practice different body percussion songs and emphasize a steady beat and accurate rhythms.  At the end of the unit, students will create their own body percussion compositions and share with the class.

Here is a great body percussion video that I used to get students excited about the possibilities of making music with our bodies!
