How does your body feel?
Beats and claps are different
Ta. One clap, right on the beat.- Ti-ti. Two quick claps — but still just one beat.
Shh. A rest: one beat of silence, no clap.
Meet the pals
- Ta claps once, steady, right on the beat.
Titi claps twice, quick — two sounds in one beat.- Shh stays quiet for a whole beat: a rest.
Beatley keeps the steady pulse so everyone stays together.
Pulse (mentor) helps the class feel the beat and read the rhythm out loud.
