Body Percussion Playgroup with Garrett Music Academy
The Judy Center is excited to partner with Miss Krista Garrett of Garrett Music Academy to bring you a new exciting playgroup - Body Percussion!
Body percussion refers to the sounds which are made by body parts such as the hands, feet, fingers and mouth. The body is used like an instrument, to produce rhythmic sounds. In this playgroup, we will be exploring the four main body percussion sounds: clapping and tapping, stamping or stomping, patting and slapping, snapping or clicking. It teaches children about rhythm and other musical concepts, develops their auditory discrimination, builds fine motor and gross motor coordination, develops body awareness, builds social skills as they work together to create musical sounds and improves attention span and focus.
