Lesson video

Shh Hi everybody, my name is Mr. Palekar and welcome back to our body percussion lessons.

This is lesson number five.

Just before the end, we are going to today be recapping our Bim Bum Biddy game.

We are going to learn a new song called "Say My Name." We are going to try to complete Mr. Palekar's Musical Challenge and finally, we are going to do a bit of Composing which means that we are going to start to create our very own body percussion piece.

For this lesson, you will need some headphones if you have any.

Now if you don't, don't worry, just make sure that you are somewhere nice and quiet where you can concentrate and that you won't be disturbed.

You'll need a pencil and some paper, if you would like to make any notes and finally you will need your hands and your bodies because after all, we are going to be learning about body percussion.

Let's get started.

Bim Bum Biddy.

Now hopefully you remember the piece from last lesson.

But don't worry if you don't, we're going to go through it together again.

Let me show you how it goes.

Now remember when you are practising this to practise slowly until you get the pattern perfectly.

Once you've done that, you can slowly increase the speed practising it each stage.

We're going to put two of our music pieces together at the same time.

Now I'm going to be doing Bim Bum Biddy, which we've just recapped and I know that my partner is going to be doing, Boom snap clap, sounds a little bit like this.

Boom, Snap, Clap, Boom, Boom, Snap, Clap, Snap, Boom, Snap, Clap, Boom, Boom, Snap, Shh.

And we've used it in previous lessons so see if you can remember.

If you would like the challenge, you can practise either Bim Bum Biddy or boom, snap clap at the same time as a partner.

When you're ready to continue, click the play button.

Say my name.

We're going to learn a brand new piece today.

And it sounds a little bit like this, ♪ I think I heard you call to me, ♪ ♪ say my name again and say it right.

♪ ♪ I don't need an apology, ♪ ♪ Say my name again and say it right.

♪ ♪ Say it right, say it right.

♪ ♪ Say my name again and say it right.

Very well done.

Okay, let's put some actions to our song.

Now for us to do this, we need to be standing up, So please make sure that you have enough space around you.

And if that means that you need to pause the video now, so that you can find that space, pause now.

Now when you're ready to resume when you're ready to carry on, click Play and let's get started.

It looks and sounds something like this.

♪ I think I heard you call to me ♪ ♪ Say my name and again say it right ♪ ♪ I don't need an apology, ♪ ♪ Say my name again and say it right.

♪ ♪ Say it right, say it right ♪ ♪ Say my name again and say it right! ♪ We are using our stamps, our pats on our knees, our claps and we are reaching out as if we're going to give someone a big high 10, which we might do a little bit later.

Okay, say my name again.

So that's a stamp, pop, pop, pop, pop, Ready, my turn, stamp, pop, pop, pop, pop, ready, your turn, stamp, pop, pop, pop, pop.

My turn, say my name again.

Ready? Your turn.

Say my name again.

My turn.

Say my name again.

Ready, your turn.

Say my name again.

Good.

I'm sure you can give a even bigger stamp than I can.

Here we go.

We can do it together.

One, two, off we go.

Say my name again.

One more time.

Say my name again.

Good.

Let's put it into our song.

From the top ready to sing.

One, two, off we go.

♪ I think I heard you call to me ♪ ♪ Say my name again and say it right ♪ ♪ I don't need an apology ♪ ♪ Say my name again and say it right ♪ ♪ Say it right, say it right ♪ ♪ Say my name again and say it right.

♪ Good, well done.

Say my name again and say it, say it right.

So we're going to do two claps on the words, say it.

And then we're going to push out for the big high 10, on the word right.

My turn first, say it right.

Ready, your turn.

Say it right.

One more time.

Say it right.

Let's stick it together.

So it should look a little bit like this.

I'll do a bit slower.

♪ Say my name again and say it right.

♪ Together, one, two, off we go.

♪ Say my name again and say it right.

♪ ♪ One more time, ready, off we go.

♪ ♪ Say my name again and say it right.

♪ Well done, let's put that into our song.

Don't forget though, when we get to, ♪ Say it right, say it right, ♪ We need to be ready with our, ♪ Say if right, say it right.

♪ Great job.

Now if you're doing this with a partner, when you do a high five outwards, you can hit somebody else's hands at the same time.

Great job.

Pause the video now so that you can practise singing and doing the body percussion actions for "Say my name" all the way through.

Now you can try practising with a friend or someone in your family so that when you do the high 10, you're hitting hands together.

If you would like to, rewind 20 seconds and we can practise the actions and the song together one more time.

And when you're ready to continue click the play button.

Mr. Palekar's musical challenge.

Now just like the last few lessons, I have a very special musical challenge for you, which is about reading the body percussion actions, to a bit of a backing track.

Let's take a look at those actions and see if we can remind ourselves of what they are.

So we have our four actions together, which are our, clap, a click, a pat on our knee, and a stamp on the ground.

We've also got some doubled actions.

So for a single beat, you could have two claps, so one, two, three, four, one, two, three, four.

You can have two clicks.

One, two, three, four, one, two, three, four.

You could have two pats.

One, two, three, four, one, two, three, four.

Or you could have two stamps.

One, two, three, four, one, two, three, four.

I hope you heard that.

And then finally, we have got this special symbol, which is a blank circle.

And that means that we don't make any music at all in those beats.

So we are silent.

Let's see if we can do an example together.

So remember, for this activity, you need to make sure you have some space around you that you're free to click, clap, pat, and stamp as well.

So if you need to pause the video to get into position, do that now.

I'm going to count you in when you all ready to start through, here we go.

Be ready with hands.

The first circle is clearly empty.

One, two, three, here we go.

Great job, now remember, these slides happen four times in a row before we move on to the next slide.

So you must, must, must be ready.

It is time for our main challenge.

Remember, I am going to count you in.

I can see some claps that are ready, get your hands ready.

Here we go.

One and two, one, two, three, here we go.

Brilliant job today, there is a lot of different rhythms in that.

So make sure you go back and you practise again.

Well done.

Pause the video now so that you can practise reading and performing the actions with music.

You could always try it with a friend or a family member.

And if you would like to practise with me again, rewind 20 seconds and let's try again together.

Remember that the challenge is from the very, very beginning of the actions.

When you're ready to continue, click the Play button.

Composition.

So this is where it gets really exciting.

We put all of our information and our skills into a piece that we are going to create together.

We are going to use a method that we learned last lesson to help us to compose let's take a look at what that is.

Yes, of course it's our grid method.

So we need to make sure we can count to eight, four times in a row.

Let's try it.

One, two, here we go.

♪ One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight and ♪ ♪ one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight and ♪ ♪ one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight and ♪ ♪ one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.

♪ Perfect.

Great.

I know that you guys can count now.

I know that we can count to eight.

Brilliant.

Okay, so now we're going to start deciding which types of body percussion we want on different parts of our piece so which number? So let's take a look okay.

With our composition what number are we going to pick first? How about number one, we'll have a big stamp.

Okay.

Let's try from the top and see how that sounds.

Okay.

One, two, three, here we go.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight and one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight and one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight and one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.

Hopefully you are stamping a lot harder than I can.

Okay.

What other number, which other number should we use and what body percussion? How about number two? Okay, we'll go with number two and we'll put a click on it.

So let's have a go nice and slowly.

One, two, three, here we go.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight and one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight and one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight and one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.

Brilliant, okay.

Which number now guys? It's our decision.

Let's have, number six.

Okay, number six and we'll do a, we'll do a clap, on number six.

So we've got a stamp, on number one, we have a click on number two, and we have nothing on, on number three, four and five.

But we do have a clap, on number six, and then nothing again on seven and eight.

Ready? Ready, steady, off we go.

And one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight and one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight and one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight and one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.

Too easy? Okay, fine, let's, let's add on another one.

Which one do you think? How about okay, fine, number four.

We'll do a double clap.

So one, two, three, four and.

Try with me.

One, two, three, four and.

One more time ready, here we go, one, two, three, four and.

And we say four and before we get to the five.

One more time, One, two, three, here we go.

One, two, three, four and five, six.

And that's how it's going to sound.

Okay.

Have your foot ready? Here we go.

Ready? Steady.

And off we go.

One, two, three, four and five, six, seven, eight one, two, three, four and five, six, seven, eight one, two, three, four and five, six, seven, eight one, two, three, four and five, six, seven, eight.

Brilliant.

Okay, if you've got that.

Fantastic.

If you haven't, don't worry, do as much as you can.

Should we add in one more.

Whoa so okay, so we've got a pat pat on our knees, pat pat on our knees, on number eight.

So it goes, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.

I'll do it on the table.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.

Okay.

There's a lot there.

Don't worry if you can't do all of it at once.

It's going to take a little bit of practise.

Ready, steady, and off we go.

And one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight and one, two, three, four and five, six, seven, eight.

There is a lot in there.

Let's try one more time a little bit slower.

And you must remember that when it gets to eight, we go straight back into one.

So there's one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight and one.

Tap tap one.

The pat, pat, stamp.

Let's try it one last time nice and slow.

One, two, ready, off we go.

And one, two, three, four and five, six, seven, eight and one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight and one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight and one, two, three, four and five, six, seven, eight.

Superb.

You know what guys, we do it one more time.

We'll see if we can count it in our head.

Ready, one, two, ready off, we go and, one, Excellent job.

Pause the video now so that you can practise your grid all the way through.

You can decide which body percussion should go on which beat.

If you would like rewind 20 seconds and you can practise again with me.

And when you're ready to continue, click the Play button.

Really, really well done today guys.

Great job.

Now from today's lesson, you can now perform, "Bim Bum Biddy." You can perform, "Say My Name" with the actions.

You could've completed Mr. Parker's musical challenge of reading those body percussion actions and you have composed your very own rhythm pattern, which you'll need for our next lesson.

I would love to see some of your work.

So if you would like to please ask your parent or carer to share your work on Instagram, Facebook or Twitter, tagging @OakNational and #LearnwithOak.

An enormous well done to everybody watching this video.

And I hope that you are having incredibly fun music lessons and practising as much as you can.

I will see you next time for our final lesson on body percussion.

Goodbye.
