Lesson video

In progress...

- Hi, my name is Mr. Palekar and welcome back to Music.

In this unit, we are exploring body percussion.

In today's lesson, we are going to be developing all of the body percussion that we have started to learn over the last few lessons.

Now, in this lesson, we are going to warm up with our game, Give Me One.

Then we're going to practise our mambo cup rhythm, which I hope you've all been practising.

And then we are going to learn the pat click clap groove, the pat click clap groove.

And then finally, it's Mr. Palekar's Musical Challenge, where we try to read some body percussion all the way through.

Now for this lesson, you will need some headphones, if you have some headphones.

If you don't have some headphones, don't worry, just make sure you are somewhere where you can focus, and you won't be disturbed.

You'll need a pencil and some paper, if you would like to make some notes.

You will need your hands, and your bodies, of course, for body percussion, and you will need yourself a plastic beaker or a cup, something that's not going to break.

Now, if you need any of those things, make sure you pause the video now, you get them, and you come back and you press play.

Give Me One, warmup.

Just like last lesson, we were practising our brilliant warmup called Give Me One.

It's a brilliant game that we're going to get started with now.

Let's just have a quick recap of what it looks like.

So when I say, "Give me one," you're going to give me one tap, followed by a, clap pat.

Pat, clap pat, ready? One, two, three, give me one.

And some of you are realising that I'm using my table again, which is absolutely fine.

If you would like to use your knees instead, that's also absolutely fine as well.

Here we go.

One, two, three, gimme one! Give me one.

Give me one.

Good, well remembered.

Okay.

Give me two, how did give me two look like? Right! I know you'd remember.

It would be, it's going to be, pat, pat, clap pat.

So, we start off by patting twice.

One, two, clap, pat.

Give me two! Give me two.

Give me two.

Your turn.

Give me two.

Good! Let's see if we can switch some of those up.

Hands at the ready.

One, two, three, give me one! Give me two.

Give me one.

Give me two.

Give me one.

Good, well done.

Okay, and finally, oh, not finally, we've got "give me three." Give me three, if you remember, is one, two, three, clap, one, two, three, clap, one, two, three, clap! Let's try it together.

One, two, three, give me three! One, two, three, clap, one, two, three, clap, one, two, three, clap! Now, that's longer than the other rhythms. Let's try it one more time.

Hands ready.

One, two, three, give me three! One, two, three, clap, one, two, three, clap, one, two, three, clap.

Okay, let's see if we can test you.

One, two, three, give me one! Give me two.

Give me one.

Give me two.

Give me one.

Give me two.

Give me three.

Break it down.

Now, the break it down section, as you may remember, goes like this.

♪ Oh yeah ♪ Let's break down the breakdown section.

It goes like this.

Pat, clap pat, pat, pat, pat, pat, clap pat.

♪ Oh yeah ♪ My turn, and then your turn.

Pat, clap, pat.

Your turn! My turn.

Pat, clap pat, your turn.

My turn.

So there at the end of that, I just added in three pats on my chest.

Ready? One, two, three, break it down.

Freeze, and then we repeat that, but we change the slight ending of it.

So it goes, and then,.

Try that with me.

Pat, clap pat, pat, pat, pat, pat, clap pat.

Your turn.

My turn.

Your turn.

Now we do that twice, with a little break in the middle, where we shout, "Oh, yeah!" You can shout anything else that you'd like to as well.

Here we go.

One, two, three, break it down.

♪ Oh yeah ♪ Give me one.

Give me one.

Gimme two.

Give me two! Give me two! Give me one.

Give me one.

Give me two.

Gimme three.

Break it down.

♪ Oh yeah ♪ Very good.

Some of you will have spotted that little mistake.

It's just me testing you, to see if you've got the correct number of pats.

Here we go.

Last time, guys.

Here we go.

And just a little point, if you want to play this at home or with your friends, you can take the lead, and you can decide which direction the music goes.

Hands at the ready.

One, two, three, give me one! Give me one.

Give me one.

Give me two.

Give me one.

Give me two.

Gimme two.

Gimme three! Break it down.

♪ Oh yeah ♪ Great job.

Pause the video now, so that you can practise Give Me One with a friend or a family member.

If you would like to, rewind 20 seconds, so that we can practise again together.

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

Mambo cup rhythm.

Now, I hope you remember from last lesson that for mambo cup rhythm, we need something like this.

We need a cup, something that's made out of plastic.

Something that's not going to break.

If you're not sure what type of cup you need, make sure that you ask a parent or a carer to help you.

And you can pause the video now, to go and get your cup, if you need to.

Once you've got that, and it's in front of you, upside down, let me remind you of what it looks like and sounds like.

Here we go.

And we had our very, very special phrase, I'm sure you can remember it.

♪ I, like, ice cream, I like ice cream ♪ ♪ I, like, ice cream, I like ice cream ♪ ♪ Ready, say it with me, off we go ♪ ♪ I like, I like, I like ice cream ♪ ♪ I like, I like, I like ice cream ♪ ♪ I like, I like, I like ice cream ♪ ♪ I like, I like, I like ice cream ♪ Now remember, if you don't like ice cream, not to worry, it's just so that we can, it helps us, so that we can make sure that we are performing this really, really, really well.

Hmm, let's see, so I'm using my left hand first.

I, like.

Try it with me, one, two, three, go.

I, like.

A bit faster, one, two, three, and, I like.

One, two, three, and, I like.

Good! One, two, three, go.

I like.

Hmm, now can we remember what ice cream is? Ice cream.

Good, it's like a cone's fallen over, ice cream cone.

Ice cream.

And again, one, two, three, four, ice cream.

One more time, ready here we go.

Ice cream.

One more time, ready here we go! Ice cream.

All right, let's put that together, from the top.

Hands at the ready.

Starting with our left hand.

One, two, off we go.

♪ I like, ice cream ♪ Good, reset.

One, two, and off we go.

♪ I like, ice cream ♪ One more time! One, two, and off we go.

♪ I like, ice cream ♪ ♪ I like ♪ Now that's our next part.

♪ I like ♪ ♪ Ready, try it with me, go ♪ ♪ I like ♪ ♪ Ready, and again, I like ♪ And again.

So far, a bit slower.

One, two, off we go.

♪ I, like, ice cream, I like ♪ Last time, here we go.

One, two, off we go.

"Ice cream" is the last two words.

It goes, ♪ Ice cream ♪ ♪ Ice cream, try it with me ♪ ♪ Ice cream ♪ ♪ Ice cream ♪ ♪ Ice cream ♪ One more time.

♪ Ice cream ♪ Good, let's put it back into this position, and we're going to go, ♪ I like, ice cream ♪ Try that with me.

After three, one, two, three.

♪ I like, ice cream ♪ One more time.

One, two, three.

♪ I like, ice cream ♪ Nice, okay.

Let's do it all the way through! Here we go.

Left hand at the ready.

One, two, off we go ♪ I, like, ice cream ♪ ♪ I like ice cream ♪ Good! And one more time, ready here we go.

♪ I like, ice cream, I like ice cream ♪ Good, that's great! ♪ Now one more time, here we go ♪ ♪ I like, ice cream, I like ice cream ♪ Good job.

This time, we're going to loop our rhythm all the way through.

We're going to do it four times, going to do it four times all the way through.

Are you ready? Hands at the ready.

One, two, and off we go.

♪ I like, ice cream, I like ice cream ♪ ♪ I like, ice cream, I like ice cream ♪ ♪ I like, ice cream, I like ice cream ♪ ♪ I like, ice cream, I like ice cream ♪ Great job.

Let's do it with some music! Here we go.

Ready one, ready two, ready one, two, three, here we go.

♪ I like, ice cream ♪ ♪ I like ice cream ♪ ♪ I like, ice cream ♪ ♪ I like ice cream ♪ ♪ I like, ice cream ♪ ♪ I like ice cream ♪ ♪ I like, ice cream ♪ ♪ I like, in your head, here we go ♪ Great job.

Now, really, really well done if you went all the way through, but if you made a mistake, don't worry.

Just remember that you can always come back in to the piece when you are ready.

So, find that first beat, that first downbeat.

The "I." And join in when you can.

Really well done.

Pause the video now, so that you can practise the mambo cup rhythm all the way through with a family member or a friend.

Now, if you would like to, rewind 20 seconds and practise again with me.

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

The Pat Click Clap Groove.

This is called the "pat click clap groove," because it uses a pat, a click, and a clap.

Because you can't see my knees, I'm going to use the table, but if you'd like to use your knees instead, great.

Use your knees instead to pat.

It looks and sounds like this.

Let's break it down.

The pat click clap groove is in three parts.

Let's start with the easiest part, number three.

It sounds like this.

Clap, clap.

Ready, your turn.

Clap, clap.

Ready, one more time, go.

Clap, clap.

One more time, go.

Clap, clap.

Good, well done.

It's just two claps.

Just two claps.

I think we can remember that.

Part number one goes like this.

Pat, click, clap.

Try it with me, off we go.

Pat, click, clap, and again.

Pat, click, clap, and again, pat, click, clap, well done.

Good.

So it's just one pat, click, clap.

Good.

Show me part one, ready? One, two, and off we go.

Pat, click, clap, good! Show me part three! One, two, and off we go.

Clap, clap.

Very good, one more time.

Show me part one.

One, two, and off we go.

Pat, click, clap, very good.

Show me part three.

One, two, and off we go.

Clap, clap.

Good.

Now the second part, that's the tricky part.

I'm going to mirror you this time.

With your right hand, you're going to put your right hand down, on a pat.

You're going to just put your left hand down, with a pat, and then you're going to take your right hand, and click.

Let's just try that, so it goes, right, left, right click.

Can you try that with me? One, two, off we go.

Right, left, right click.

Try it one more time, and off we go.

Right, left, right click.

And we don't stop there.

We want to keep our right click nice and high, let's try one more time.

One, two, and off we go.

Right, left, right click.

And now, we want to carry on, and we want to do the opposite.

So we're going to use our left hand.

Left, right, left click.

Let's try that again.

So we've just done our click with our right hand.

Left, right, left click.

Try it with me, ready, off we go.

Left, right, left click.

So if we put it together, nice and slowly, it looks and sounds like this.
