 your hands.

 Discussion

Teacher’s Activity Students’ Activity

What do you do when you hear music? I clap my hands, ma’am!

Yes. What else? I clap my hands, ma’am!

Another? Snap my finger, ma’am!

What do you feel when you hear music? I feel happy, ma’am!

You often move your bodies or parts of your

bodies when you hear music. You clap your
hands, stomp your feet, snap your fingers or even
tap the table to follow the music. When you do
these things, you are responding to an element of
music called rhythm.

(showing pictures/videos)

So, what is rhythm?

Yes. Rhythm is the flow of movement in music. It It is the flow of movement in music.
is also the way words move along in a song. It is
also the way sounds and silences are grouped into
organized units.

Can you feel rhythm in your body?

Yes, ma’am!

How?

I can feel it in my hands, feet and finger. I can

feel it when I nod my head.
Yes. You really can feel rhythm. When you hear
the rhythm of the music, you usually respond to it
using different body movements.

 How do you respond music? Walking, jumping, skipping, swaying, stomping,
tapping, snapping and clapping.
Can we feel rhythm?
Yes, ma’am!
Can we touch rhythm?
No, ma’am!

We can only feel rhythm. Yet we can see it

through reading rhythmic patterns.

You can perform rhythm better if you can read it

well. Here are some basic rhythmic symbols you
can begin with. Each symbol has an equivalent
rhythmic syllable and count or beat.

“da” = 1 beat

“di – di” = 1 beat

“da”

“di-di”
“da-a” = 2 beats
“da-a”

“diri-dri” = 1 beat
“diri-diri”
Rhythmic symbols can be grouped together to
create rhythmic patterns. Each rhythmic pattern
has an equivalent et of rhythmic syllables.

Study the rhythmic patterns. Recite the rhythmic

syllables of the rhythmic patterns.

da da da di-di

“da da da di - di”

di - di da di – di da
“di - di da di – di da”

da di – di di-di da

“da di – di di – di da”

Very good, children! “da da da di - ri di - ri”
