MMS Tutor How-to Videos: Percussion in the Classroom – Series 4, Part 3

A big hit with our drumming workshops is body percussion! In this week’s educational workshop for schools, we will be practicing rhythms on our bodies as opposed to on the drums – a great alternative if you don’t have access to percussion instruments.

Drumming Workshops

• First, choose a rhyme to say as you’re practicing the rhythm, such as ‘coffee tea’
• Practice saying it loudly and softly with your class a few times to ensure they are familiar with the rhyme
• Now let’s practice playing the rhythm with our hands
• Then try stomping the rhythm with your feet
• Brainstorm ideas with class for new way of playing body percussion
