Step-by-step solution for: Body Percussion PDF | PDF
This image is a guide for Body Percussion Rhythms. It teaches you how to make music using your body instead of instruments. Each box shows a different rhythm pattern with counts, actions (like clap or tap), and musical notes.
Since there is no specific question asked (like “Which rhythm uses rests?” or “What do you do on beat 3 in the bottom-left box?”), I will explain what each box means so you can understand and perform them.
---
Box 1 (Top Left):
Count: “1 & 1 &” → This means two beats, each split into two parts (beat and “and”).
Action: CLAP, TAP, CLAP, TAP
Notes: Quarter note, eighth note, quarter note, eighth note
→ Clap on beat 1, tap on “&”, clap on next 1, tap on next “&”
Box 2 (Top Right):
Count: “1-2, 1-2, 1-2, 1-2,” → Four groups of two beats
Action: PAT, PAT, PAT, PAT
Notes: Half notes (each lasts 2 beats)
→ Pat once every 2 beats — slow and steady
Box 3 (Second Row Left):
Count: “1-2, 3, 1-2, 3” → Two measures of 3/4 time? Or just counting 1-2 then 3
Action: PAT, CLAP, PAT, CLAP
Notes: Half note, quarter note, half note, quarter note
→ Pat for 2 beats, clap for 1 beat, repeat
Box 4 (Second Row Right):
Count: “1, 2& 1, 2&” → Beat 1, then beat 2 + “and”, repeat
Action: CLAP, TAP-TAP, CLAP, TAP-TAP
Notes: Quarter note, two eighth notes, quarter note, two eighth notes
→ Clap on 1, tap twice quickly on “2&”, repeat
Box 5 (Third Row Left):
Count: “1-2, 3&, 1-2, 3&” → Similar to above but starting with 2-beat pat
Action: PAT, TAP-TAP, PAT, TAP-TAP
Notes: Half note, two eighth notes, half note, two eighth notes
→ Pat for 2 beats, then tap-tap on “3&”, repeat
Box 6 (Third Row Right):
Count: “1, REST, 1, REST, 1, REST, 1” → Play on 1, rest (do nothing) on next beat
Action: CLAP, NOD, CLAP, NOD, CLAP, NOD, CLAP
Notes: Quarter note, quarter rest, quarter note, quarter rest...
→ Clap on beat 1, nod head on rest (silent beat), repeat
Box 7 (Bottom Left):
Count: “1-2-3, 1, 2, 3” → First measure has dotted half note (3 beats), then three quarter notes
Action: LEFT STAMP (on first 3 beats), then CLAP, CLAP, CLAP
Notes: Dotted half note, then three quarter notes
→ Stamp left foot for 3 beats, then clap once per beat for 3 more beats
Box 8 (Bottom Right):
Count: “1-2-3-4, 1, 2, 3, 4” → Whole note (4 beats), then four quarter notes
Action: BOTH FEET STAMP (for 4 beats), then CLAP, CLAP, CLAP, CLAP
Notes: Whole note, then four quarter notes
→ Stamp both feet together for 4 beats, then clap 4 times, one per beat
---
Final Answer:
Each box shows a rhythm pattern using body movements (clap, tap, pat, stamp, nod) matched to musical counts and notes. To use this chart, read the count aloud, do the action on each beat, and follow the note values for timing. There’s no single “correct answer” unless a specific question is asked — this is a performance guide for creating rhythms with your body.
Since there is no specific question asked (like “Which rhythm uses rests?” or “What do you do on beat 3 in the bottom-left box?”), I will explain what each box means so you can understand and perform them.
