Play me repeating patterns on instruments and soundmakers
Show me how the same short repeated pattern can make up a simple piece of music
- Play ‘rat-a-tat-tat, rat-a-tat-tat, rat-a-tat-tat’ on the drum
- Go ‘shake-shake-bang, shake-shake-bang, shake-shake-bang’ with the maracas
- Play patterns of three or four notes on the keyboard, like ‘C-D-E–, C-D-E–, C-D-E–‘
- Do the same on the glockenspiel
- Stop the pattern in mid-flow and see if I want more
- Make these ‘daisy chains in sound’ on different instruments: ‘tap-tap-tap’ on the drum, then the tambourine, for example
