Scrape, Tap, Shake and Ting
In this lesson we are going to learn to use the instruments we made in our last video. We will use them with simple rhythm cards to introduce graphic notation, which is the first step to learning to read music.
The symbols are: 
In the videos Mrs Borthwick will show you how to use the cards and try to play the sounds in orders. If you missed it you can watch how to make the instruments in the blog post here.
Part 1. This video allows you to practise reading all the cards for each instrument one after another. You can try to make your own card with more variations and play them together.
Part 2 . If you have two players, this video shows how to mix up the cards using all four sounds. You can share out the instruments so that between you all the sounds can be played without stopping
Part 3. Now we will try a series of cards working as a pair or in a bigger group with all 4 sounds. Once you can play these cards confidently then use the different ones you have made at home.
Part 4. This video is much more challenging. Each card uses a mixture of two or more sounds. Again, once you have practised these examples you can create and compose your own rhythms.
Finally you can try creating your own grid with four lines of rhythm to play together and perform. We have an example of one here.
