Body Percussion Rhythms - An Easy Composition Grid

Body Percussion Rhythms – Composition Grid

Why teaching body percussion rhythms is important

Exploring body percussion is a fantastic way to teach your class about the concept of rhythm and pulse. Once they have completed their composition grid can they perform to a beat in front of the class? This is a great activity for both working in groups/pairs or individually.

Help your class make their own percussion rhythms and compositions using only the sounds they can create using their bodies.

For those students who are slightly more advanced, why not stick on a song they know and see if they can perform their body percussion in time with the music!
