This activity uses the computer.

In this activity you are going to hear a simple beat and make up some patterns to go with it. The video will tell you what to do.

Give student woodblock and beater.

Let’s watch the video now.

Click the Rhythmic Patterns button to start the video.

Ensure student sits with hands visible to camera.

Clap the Pattern [Boy listens first to a very simple, strong beat. He then accompanies the beat – the first time, demonstrating a very simple pattern and the second, a more complex pattern.

Student is then given two opportunities to listen to and accompany the beat themselves – the first, to make up and practise different patterns and the second, to play their best rhythmic pattern.]
