What you'll learn

  1. 1

    Imagine you hear a short melody played on a piano. Your job is to clap back the rhythm just like an echo! 🎵

  2. 2

    What do you do when you hear the melody?

  3. 3

    Tap along to a 4-beat rhythm on this drum pad. Listen to the pattern first, then copy it!

  4. 4

    Let's do one together. The piano plays: 'ta ta ti-ti ta' (4 beats). Can you clap it back?

  5. 5

    Now you try! Clap back this rhythm: 'ti-ti ta ti-ti ta' (4 beats). Tap the beats on the drum pad.

  6. 6

    If the piano plays 'ta ta ta ta' (4 slow beats), how many claps do you make?

  7. 7

    Listen: which rhythm matches 'ti-ti ti-ti ta ta'?
