Feel the Pulse! — Year 2 Music

A joyful Year 2 music lesson on pulse and rhythm. Children echo-clap, find the steady heartbeat of the music, learn how rhythm dances on top of the pulse, clap the rhythms hiding inside words, and read long and short sounds. It is a ready-to-teach PowerPoint scaffold for an hour-long lesson on pulse and rhythm, needing no instruments — children use body percussion throughout. Includes a Pass the Pulse circle game and a three group Class Rhythm Orchestra performance with the teacher as conductor.
