Do you remember what you have to do when he sings to you? That's right, you have to sing your name to him.
I'll go first.
♪ Hickety Tickety, bumblebee ♪ ♪ Can you sing your name to me ♪ ♪ My name's Ms. Glover ♪ What's your name? Fantastic, now it's your turn.

Now, it's time to do some learning.
Today, we are going to learn to identify the rhythm of a song, to be able to explain the difference between rhythm and pulse, to listen to and repeat simple patterns, and to create our own simple patterns.
In this lesson, you will need your body.
Give us a wave! Your voice, say hello! And a piece of paper and pencil.
Pause the video to go and get a piece of paper and a pencil, now.
You can press Play again, once you're finished.
Do you remember the song, "Hot Cross Buns?" Let's sing it together.
We'll put the pulse on our knees.
♪ Ready, off we go ♪ ♪ Hot cross buns, hot cross buns ♪ ♪ One a penny, two a penny ♪ ♪ Hot cross buns ♪ Fantastic, this time, we're going to put the words on our hands.
And we're going to clap the rhythm.
♪ Ready, off I go ♪ ♪ Hot cross buns, hot cross buns ♪ ♪ One a penny, two a penny ♪ ♪ Hot cross buns ♪ Did you do the rhythm correctly? Let's try it one more time.
♪ Ready, off I go ♪ ♪ Hot cross buns, hot cross buns ♪ ♪ One a penny, two a penny ♪ ♪ Hot cross buns ♪ Well done, you.
Pause the video to have a go at clapping the rhythm of your favourite song? You can press Play again, once you're finished.
We know all about pulse.
But today we learned about rhythm.
Rhythm and pulse are different.
Because pulse stays steady all the way through the song.
And while the tempo might get slightly faster or slower, it's like a constant heartbeat thudding through the music.
Whereas, rhythm can change and it's made up of lots of different length notes.
It makes a pattern.
This is a rhythm.
Whereas, this is a pulse.
You see how the pulse stayed steady, but the rhythm changed? I'm going to clap a few to you now, and I want you to tell me whether it's a pulse or a rhythm.
Remember, a pulse stays steady, but a rhythm changes.
Was that a pulse or a rhythm? Well done, it was a pulse.
What about this one? Well done, that was a rhythm, because it changed.
One more.
Well done, that was a pulse.
It stayed steady all the way through.
Can you help me fill in the gaps? Something stays steady all the way through the music.
And something is a pattern made of long and short notes Which one is a pulse and which one is a rhythm? Pause the video now, and you can fill it in.
Well done! Pulse stays steady all the way through the music and rhythm is a pattern made of long and short notes.
If you want to write this down, you can pause the video again, and write out these sentences.
Otherwise, just continue.
Do you think you can copy me, if I clap a rhythm to you? Can you clap it back to me? Let's have a go.
I'm going to clap a four beat rhythm to you and you're going to clap it back.
Let's try.
Did you clap them back to me? Great job, let's try some different ones.
Well done, you! I've got some rhythms written down here.
Here's my first one.
This says, ta ta ti ti ta.
Ta ta ti ti ta.
Ta ta ti ti ta.
Ta ta ti ti ta.
We've seen written, music written in squares like this before.
But we've not seen symbols like this.
Can you see those symbols? In music, the music is written using these symbols.
This is a ta and this is a ti ti.
Let's read it together, after four.
One, two, three, four.
Ta ta ti ti ta.
Ta ta ti ti ta.
Ta ta ti ti ta.
Ta ta ti ti ta.
See if you can clap it to me, after four.
One, two, three, four.
Ta ta ti ti ta.
Ta ta ti ti ta.
Ta ta ti ti ta.
Ta ta ti ti ta.
Great job, let's try a different one.
Here, my rhythm says, ta ti ti ti ti ta.
Ta ti ti ti ti ta.
Ta ti ti ti ti ta.
Ta ti ti ti ti ta.
And here are those musical symbols.
Ta ti ti ti ti ta.
Ta ti ti ti ti ta.
Ta ti ti ti ti ta.
Ta ti ti ti ti ta.
Let's have a go at clapping it, after four.
One, two, three, four.
Ta ti ti ti ti ta.
Ta ti ti ti ti ta.
Ta ti ti ti ti ta.
Ta ti ti ti ti ta.
Fantastic, last one.
Here, there's a big gap with nothing in it.
Just like some of our songs have a gap where we don't sing.
This space is called a rest.
It's where we have some silence.
Silence is important in rhythms. So this goes, ta ssh ti ti ta.
Ta ssh ti ti ta.
Ta ssh ti ti ta.
Ta ssh ti ti ta.
If we were clapping this rhythm, we wouldn't do anything here.
We would not move our hands at all.
So it would sound like that's.
Ta ssh ti ti ta.
Ta ssh ti ti ta.
Ta ssh ti ti ta.
Ta ssh ti ti ta.
Let's have a go together.
Here's the rhythm written out.
You can see like it's a ssh, is just a wiggly line.
After four, one, two, three, four.
Ta ssh ti ti ta.
Ta ssh ti ti ta.
Ta ssh ti ti ta.
Ta ssh ti ti ta.
Why don't you have a go at creating your own four beat pattern using the symbols ta ssh and ti ti? You can try that now.
Well done, you.
Pause the video to create your own four beat rhythm patterns.
You can do this on paper, or you could just try clapping the four beat pattern of your choice.
Press Play again, once you're finished.
Time to listen.
This piece of music is by a composer called, Bach.
It's called, "Toccata and Fugue in D minor." See if you can hear some interesting rhythms. Today, we have learnt to identify the rhythm of a song, to be able to explain the difference between rhythm and pulse, to listen to and repeat, a simple pattern and to create our own simple pattern.
