meloktaLearning goal
Plays rhythm patterns using two different drum sounds at the same time and one after the other, and builds hand coordination.
Topic
Your two hands work together: sometimes one after the other, sometimes at the same time!
Prior knowledge
Can tell the bass drum and the snare apart by ear.
Teacher note
Beats played together appear on the cards as ‘Bass drum + Snare’. On a touch screen, use two fingers; on a computer, press F and J together. Each sound is scored separately.
Lesson steps
- Together – bass drum – snare – together.
- Two sounds at once on beats two and four!
- Last pattern: look carefully, play carefully.
