In this lesson, we will be learning about pulse and how to find it in a piece of music. You will practise tapping the pulse along to a piece of music and compose your own body percussion pulse pattern.

Finding the pulse

In this lesson, we will find the pulse in a piece of music. We will use symbols and recognise patterns between words and sounds.

Finding the pulse in a song

In this lesson, we will learn about rhythm and learn to match words with rhythms. We will also review pulse and practise moving between pulse and rhythm.

Exploring the difference between pulse and rhythm

In this lesson, we will review what pulse and rhythm are. We will learn to use musical notation symbols to represent different rhythms and learn some new songs.

Using symbols to represent sounds

In this lesson, we will review pulse and rhythm. We will use musical notation symbols to recognise different songs and play rhythm games. We will also start to layer rhythms on top of each other.

Recognising musical symbols

In this lesson, we will review pulse and rhythm. We will use musical notation symbols to recognise different songs and play rhythm games. We will then consolidate all of our learning in this unit by composing our own four bar rhythm and completing an end of unit quiz.
