Music Lesson: Learning a Rhythmic Ostinato by reading graphic notation - Sing! Step! Grow!

Get your kids started on reading notation with graphic symbols instead of traditional notation. In this video students will use graphic notation to read and realise a one bar rhythm pattern using body percussion. From here you might like to find the video where we use an ostinato pattern to accompany a poem! Have a great idea for a music lesson? Or want some resources to go along with the lesson?
