Hello, my name is Miss Miner.

Your turn! My turn.

Hello, my name is Miss Miner.

Hello, my favourite colour is purple.

Hello, my favourite food is ice cream.

Hello, my favourite music is jazz.

I feel like I got to know you a little bit better, then.

Let's get ready with our music lesson.

What will we cover in this lesson? We're going to start off with a warm up.

We will then perform on and off the beat.

We will perform that pattern with a track, and we will challenge ourselves by alternating between on and off beats.

In this lesson, you will need your body and voice to make music, and some space to move around.

Please take a moment now to clear away any distractions, including turning off the notifications on any apps or conversations you have running, if you know how to.

Finally, if you can, try to find a quiet place where you won't be disturbed during the lesson.

Okay.

So when you're ready, let's begin.

Let's warm up.

My turn first.

Ch, ch, ch, ch ch, ch ch.

Ch, ch, ch, ch ch, ch ch.

Ss ss, ss ss, ss, ss ss.

Ss, ss, ss ss ss, ss.

Shhhhhhh.

Shhhhhhh.

Ss, ss ss, ss, ss ss, ss.

Ss ss, ss, ss ss, ss.

Whoa, splat! Whoa, splat! Ding ding, dong, ding ding, da dong.

Ding ding, dong, ding ding, da dong.

Ff, tuh tuh, ff, tuh tuh.

Ff, tuh tuh, ff ff, tuh.

Vuh, vuh vuh, vuh vuh.

Vuh, vuh, vuh, vuh vuh.

Ch, ch, cha-ka ch ch ch.

Ch, ch, cha-ka ch ch ch.

Ss tuh, ss tuh.

Cha, cha ka ka, cha cha, ka.

Cha, cha ka ka, cha cha, ka.

Vuh vuh, vuh vuh, vuh vuh.

Vuh! Vuh! Well done.

Hopefully you're feeling warmed up.

Why not pause the video and practise with some of your own vocal percussion sounds? What is the pulse? Is it the pattern of sounds? The heartbeat of the music? Making sounds using our bodies? Or the length of sound, whether it's long or short? Point to answer you think is correct.

Well done.

It's the heartbeat of the music.

So, what is the rhythm? Is that the pattern of sounds? The heartbeat of the music? Making sounds using our bodies? Or the length of sound, whether it's low or short? Point to the answer you think is correct.

Well done.

It's the pattern of sounds.

So what is vocal percussion? Is it the heartbeat of the music? Is it creating sounds without voice to imitate a percussion instrument? Is it making sounds using our bodies? Or could it be the length of sound, whether it's long or short? Point to the answer you think is correct.

Well done.

It's creating sounds without voice, to imitate a percussion instrument, just like we did in the warmup.

We're going to learn a new body percussion pattern today.

The on beat pattern sounds like this.

One, two, three, four.

Have a go with me.

Off we go.

One, two, three, four.

One, two, three, four.

One, two, three, four.

One two, three, four.

Oh, super.

This time see if you can do it without saying the numbers out loud.

Off we go.

Super well done.

Now, like we did in the last lesson, we're now going to subdivide each of the beats into two parts, so it sounds like this.

One and two and three and four and.

Have a go with me.

Off we go.

One and two and three and four and one and two and three and four and One and two and three and four and One and two and three and four and.

Let's go back to the first version and see if you can remember that.

Off we go.

One, two, three, four.

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

Now let's try the subdivided version.

Off we go.

One and two and three and four and One and two and three and four and One and two and three and four and One and two and three and four and.

Well done.

If you would like some more practise at that, rewind the video and watch it as many times as you need, so that you understand those beats.

Here comes the next challenge.

We've, so far, been beating on numbers, on the number of the beats, on one, on two, on three on four.

And we've also been subdividing those beats, so we're tapping on the one and the "and" and the two and the "and" and the three and the "and" and the four and the "and".

Now I challenge you just to tap on the "ands", like this.

One and two and three and four and One and two and three and four and.

See if you can have a go.

Off we go.

One and two and three and four and One and two and three and four and One and two and three and four and One and two and three and four and.

If you need some more practise at that, just rewind the video and have another go.

This time, if I hold up one finger, you're going to do the first version.

One, two, three, four.

If I hold up two fingers, you're going to do the second version.

One and two and three and four and One and two and three and four and.

If I hold up three fingers, you're going to do the third version.

And, and, and, and, and, and, and, and.

See how you get on.

Ready, steady, off we go.

One, two, three, four, one, two, three, four, one, two, three, four, one, two, ready, change! One and two and three and four and One and two and three and four and One and two and three and four and One and two and three and ready, change! One and two and three and four and One and two and three and four and One and two and three and four and One and two and three and four and.

Well done.

Pause the video to practise this.

When you're ready, press play, and we can continue.

Now we're going to try that same thing, but to some hip hop music, Let's see if we can do it.

So what is subdivision? Is it the heartbeat of the music? Is it creating sounds without voice to imitate a percussion instrument? Is it making sounds using our bodies? Or is it breaking down a beat into smaller parts? Point to the answer you think is correct.

Well done.

It's breaking down a beat into smaller parts.

So which one of these images represents on the beat? Is it the blue answer? Or is it the green answer? Point to the answer you think is correct.

Well done.

It's the blue one.

So which of these images represents off the beat? Well done.

It's the green answer.

So that brings us to the end of the lesson.

A really big well done on all the fantastic learning you've achieved in this lesson.

I've got two final things I'd like you to do now.

Firstly, think back and identify one key thing you've learned today.

It's totally up to you what it is.

Secondly, if you'd like to, please take a picture of your work and ask your parent or carer to share it with your teacher, so that they can see all the fantastic things you've learned.

If you'd like to, please ask your parent or carer to share your work on Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter, tagging at Oak National and hashtag Learn with Oak.

Now don't forget to complete the end of lesson quiz.

Well, all that's left for me to say is thank you.

Take care, and enjoy the rest of your learning for today.

Bye!.
