The Preps have continued their early understandings of music ideas over the past fortnight, introduced to the concept of rhythm and beat and investigating the difference between them.
We discussed a beat is a steady sound that doesn’t change – like the ticking of a clock or your heart beating. Rhythm however is the length of the sounds such as listening and following the words. We used a Bumble Bee chant and a picture of some bees and used our finger to follow the beat consistently throughout the piece. Students then extended the activity to clap along to the beat as their confidence increased.
