Body Percussion

Today in Class 4 we have been learning about body percussion. Body percussion is when you make music using all your body parts. Working in groups we started experimenting with body percussion, making different music sequences using 4 beats of 4 sounds.

Getting used to some movements.

Next we watched a short clip from the amazing 'Ten Pieces' website. First, we were really confused and found it hard but then, after practising, we got the hang of it! It was really fun! One pupil said, ' My favourite bit was the awesome swimming haka.'

Whilst we copied the tutorial we learnt some moves such as:

Swimming haka

Hand swirls

Cross and YEAH

Snake wave

And loads more...

Everyone really enjoyed learning body percussion; fantastic music!
