Lesson video

Hi everybody, it's Mr. Palekar here, and welcome back to our music lesson on body percussion.

In today's lesson we are going to be developing your skills a little bit further.

We are going to practise the pat click clap groove.

We are going to look at something called the grid.

We're going to start making up some of our own body percussion pieces.

We're going to learn a new type of song, which is called "Bim Bum Biddy," great name.

And we are finishing off today with Mr. Palekar's musical challenge.

That's going to be a reading of body percussion sounds.

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

If you don't have some or you prefer not to, that's absolutely fine.

Just make sure that you are somewhere where you can concentrate and won't be disturbed by other people.

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

And finally, you will need your hands and yourself, your bodies for body percussion.

Let's get started.

The pat click clap groove.

Now just like last time, we were using our hands and our laps.

I'm going to use my table 'cause it's a little bit higher up.

And our clicks for our pat click clap groove.

It looks something like this.

One, two, three, here I go.

There's a lot going on in that piece, So let's break it down one more time before we go on to my extension to this task.

Here we go.

So there are three parts to this piece, if you remember.

Number one, my turn and then your turn.

First part, pat, click, clap, your turn.

My turn, pat, click, clap, your turn.

Good.

Our third part is also really, really easy.

It goes, clap, clap.

Try it, ready, here you go.

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

Easy, brilliant.

It's our second part which has got all of the juicy fun stuff, which is sandwiched in between number one and number three.

Number two goes like this.

We use our right hand, we go with our pats, right, left, right click.

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

And then when we have our hand in the air here, we use our left hand and we go, left pat, right pat, left click.

Let's try that again.

Remember we are starting with our right hand.

One, two, off we go.

Let's go again, ready, one, two, off we go.

Good.

A little bit faster, off we go.

Good, one more time, ready, here we go.

Good, last time, and here we go.

Good.

Let's put part number one and number two together.

And it looks and sounds like this.

One, two, three, here we go.

Let's try it really slowly.

A one, a two, a one, two, three, here we go.

Now, pat, click, clap, right, left, right click, left, right, left click.

And one more time at that speed, no faster.

One, two, three, here we go.

Now pat, click, clap, right, left, right click, left, right, left click.

Last time together, one, two, three, here we go.

Now, pat, click, clap.

Right, left, right click, left, right, left click.

Good, and we know how to finish this off.

Clap, clap, good.

Let's see if we can go all the way through our piece from beginning to end, one time.

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

Pat, click, clap.

One more time, a little bit slower.

One, two, three, here we go.

Pat, click, clap.

Good, and again, ready, one, two, three, here we go.

Good, we're going to loop it and we're going to do it again and again and again.

I might get faster, see if you can join me.

One, two, start slow.

One, two, three, here we go.

Now pat, click, clap.

Get faster now, here we go.

A bit faster.

Freeze.

Good, really, really, really well done.

Now you may have noticed that at the end of my two rounds, sometimes I do a long clap.

Sometimes I do two claps.

Sounds like this.

So it could be.

Or.

You can decide which one you want to do.

I like to do one at the end, but you can do two if you want.

So it sounds like this, two times at the end, the first time and one time at the end, the last time.

Listen really, really closely.

One, two, three, here we go.

One, two.

One.

Let's try it together, hands at the ready.

A one, a two, all ready, one, two, three, here we go.

Just one time this time.

And again, pat.

One, two, good.

Just once.

Freeze, really, really well done.

Now, here is my challenge for today.

You might remember a piece called "Boom snap clap." It sounded like this.

♪ Boom, snap, clap, boom, snap, clap, snap ♪ ♪ Boom, snap, clap, boom, snap, shh ♪ ♪ Boom, snap, clap, boom, snap, clap, snap ♪ ♪ Boom, snap, clap, boom, snap, shh ♪ We're going to layer both of our pieces together.

So we're going to have our pack, click, clap groove going on and on and on and on.

And over that, at the same time, we're going to have a second person doing our boom, snap, clap, boom, snap, clap, snap.

Let's see how it sounds.

So I'm in position, I'm going to be doing my pat click clap groove all the way through and I'm going to continue to do that.

And I'm going to be doing the.

♪ Boom, snap, clap, boom, snap, clap, snap ♪ ♪ Boom, snap, clap, boom snap, shh ♪ By listening really carefully and over the top.

You're ready? Great, I'm ready, here we go, my turn first.

One, two, three, here we go.

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

♪ Boom, snap, clap, boom, snap, clap, snap ♪ ♪ Boom, snap, clap, boom, snap, shh ♪ ♪ Boom, snap, clap, boom, snap, clap, snap ♪ ♪ Boom, snap, clap, boom ♪ In my head Here we go.

That's how it sounds.

Now we're going to do that one more time and you can decide which part to play.

Are you ready? Here we go.

One, two, three, here we go.

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

♪ Boom, snap, clap, boom, snap, clap, snap ♪ ♪ Boom, snap, clap, boom, snap, shh ♪ ♪ Boom, snap, clap, boom, snap, clap, snap ♪ ♪ Boom, snap, clap, boom ♪ In my head.

Here we go.

Pause the video now so that you can practise the pat click clap groove with a friend or a family member.

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

And if you would like to practise the pat click clap groove with boom snap clap, rewind and let's give it a go.

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

The grid.

Can you count to eight? I really hope so because we're going to need that in this activity here.

Try counting to eight with me.

Let's tap the pulse on our chest.

One, two, three, here we go.

Now one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, good.

Let's do it again, but we're going to do it four times this time, ready? One, two, three, here we go.

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

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

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

Last time, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.

Let me show you the grid.

The grid looks like this.

Now these eight numbers are eight beats and we're going to put a type of body percussion on some of those beats.

Let's see if we can do one.

So let's have a clap on number one.

You're ready? Count with me, one, two, ready, 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, five, six, seven, eight.

I know what you're thinking, too easy.

Let's add another piece of body percussion.

Which number shall we have? Okay, let's have number four and let's have a snap, a click.

So it will go, one, two, three, here we go.

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

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

Let's try it four times.

Ready, off we go.

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

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

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

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

Good.

Still too easy? Okay, let's add in another type of body percussion.

Which number shall we have? Let's have number six, and we're going to have a pat, pat.

I'm going to use my table, see if you can use your knees instead.

Pat, pat.

How did that sound? One, two, three, here we go.

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

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.

Good, let's try maybe one more.

Let's give it a go, one.

Let's have a stomp on number two.

Now you can't see my stomp but I absolutely promise you that I am stomping as hard as I can on the ground.

Let's do this one really slowly, slow down our numbers.

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

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

Now try it with me.

Ready, off 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.

Good, well done.

Let's see this time if we can count the numbers in our head.

I'm just going to give you a one, two and off we go.

You need to be ready with our clap, here we go.

One, two, in fact I'm going to whisper it this time just to help us.

One, two and off 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.

One more time, say in your head, ready and off we go.

Really, really well done.

Pause the video now so that you can go back and practise the grid all the way through.

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

If you would like to, rewind 20 seconds and we can practise the same grid again.

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

"Bim Bum Biddy." "Bim Bum Biddy" is a brilliant activity, as a body percussion song, and it goes a little bit like this.

Now, if you can't do both at the same time, don't panic.

See if you can just concentrate on either the song or the body percussion.

With more practise, you can put them together.

Let's try it one more time.

And we're going to do it two times all the way through.

I might speed up for the second one, here we go.

♪ Bim bum ♪ One, two and off we go.

Pause the video now so that you can practise "Bim Bum Biddy" all the way through.

You can try practising with a friend or someone in your family.

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

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

Mr. Palekar's musical challenge.

It is that time again, when we have our musical challenge of following the body percussive actions.

Just as a reminder, like last lesson, we have different symbols.

We have a clap, we have a snap, we have a pat, and we have a stomp as well, where we use our foot on the floor.

We also have, for each of these beats, we have two of the kinds.

So if we go one, two, three, four, clap, clap.

That could be in one beat.

One.

So we have two claps in a beat, we have two clicks, we have two pats and we have two stomps as well.

Don't forget that if you see a empty circle, that means that you do not do an action, you just are absolutely silent.

Let's do one example together.

Here we go.

Listen to the music.

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

Great job, now that was just an example.

Make sure that you're reading each of the beats above to the music.

Remember each slide happens four times, and then we go straight to a new slide.

For this you'll need to make sure that you have some space.

So please make sure that you are standing up, you have some areas around you where you can tap your body.

You can pat, you can click, you can clump and you can stomp as well.

Are we ready? One, two, all ready, one, two, three, here we go now.

Ready to stomp.

Brilliant, guys, a huge well done.

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

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

If you would like to practise again with me, rewind to the beginning of the challenge and let's try again together.

Click play when you are ready to continue.

A huge well done for all of the activities that we've done today, a great job.

From today's lesson, you now can perform the pat click clap groove.

You can begin to create a body percussion grid.

You can perform "Bim Bum Biddy" with the actions and you have completed Mr. Palekar's musical challenge.

If you would like to share any of the work that you are continuing to practise, please ask your parent or carer to share your work on Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter by tagging @OakNational and #LearnwithOak.

A brilliant, brilliant, brilliant job today.

I hope that you were able to have some fun with these activities as well.

And I look forward to seeing you in our next lesson.

Goodbye.
