Using claves (or other percussion instruments) the students will demonstrate their understanding of the
difference between beat and rhythm, by sounding them consecutively using the song "Hickory Dickory
Dock". This will be done in group where they get to show also their ability to cooperate and collaborate
with classmates in a task.
With this activity, the students will reinforce their knowledge about percussion instruments,
review how each percussion instrument is played and retain the difference between the tuned and
the untuned percussion instruments. The same activity will also train the students' eye and body
coordination as they play on the specified instruments a particular note or pattern. It is also an
activity that demonstrates the students' recognition of the quarter note and quarter rest musical
symbols.
