MUSIC
‘RHYTHM AND SOUND’
WHAT YOU NEED : A4 paper, ruler, scissors, pencil,red and blue pens, pencils or crayons
Rhythm is keeping time. It is a strong regular repeated pattern of movement or sound.
TASK 1
* Using your own body, make a variety of sound patterns by clapping, finger clicking gentle knee slapping, foot tapping. Can you think of any more ways to make sounds?
*Try mixing the sounds and compose a piece of body music.
TASK 2
*Take your A4 paper and divide it into 4 strips lengthwise using your pencil and ruler. Divide each of the strips equally into 4 boxes. Now using your scissors, cut along the LONG lines into 4 strips.
* On another piece of paper, draw some squares and circles which will fit inside the boxes on your strips.
*Colour the SQUARES BLUE. Colour the CIRCLES RED. Some of you might have done this with ABC MUSIC.
A SQUARE HAS 1 BEAT A CIRCLE HAS 2 BEATS
*Compose your own rhythm pattern by placing the squares and circles onto the strip.
*Clap your rhythm pattern. Add more strips.
REMEMBER. . . . . . . . . . . . An empty box is a quiet rest and is part of your pattern.
Play your whole composition. Repeat it over again from the beginning when you come to the end.
*Experiment with a variety of rhythm patterns. Try using beaters too.
CONGRATULATIONS YOU ARE NOW A COMPOSER!!
