Rhythm course with movement, voice, body percussion, and instruments for instrumental lessons, play groups, music-making in primary schools, and children's choirs. Authors: Barbara Metzger, Elke Häublein, Andreas Pöppel, and Monika Schelske-Flöter. Children learn about the typical music and corresponding rhythms of various countries through the contents of a rhythm suitcase in a holistic way. Whether with or without instruments, the rhythms come alive through listening, moving, speaking, singing, playing, writing, and reading. Includes a CD, 80 pages, for children aged 8 and up. This practical work is a must-have in every teacher's library. All rhythmic tasks and exercise ideas can be applied to countless songs and musical pieces. In addition to listening to and singing appropriate musical material and playing common percussion instruments, playful elements, movement, or dance are also integrated into the learning process. This is done in a creative, child-friendly, and often very original way, supported by an appealing design of the book. A well-produced CD featuring all included musical pieces completes the extremely positive overall impression.
