Foreword A bass drum A scratch record A cello A lion s roar A dog s bark A gamelan All of these sounds and millions more are right at your fingertips No, I m not talking about the latest program or electronic gadget I m talking about the human body the greatest and most diverse instrument on the planet Imagine all the possibilities ust using the big four of body percussion stomps, pats, claps, and snaps You can stomp with the whole foot, or ust with the heel You can tap your toes, or slide your foot across the floor The list goes on and on You can pat your tummy, or pat your chest You can pat your thighs, or pat your shoulders You can clap with flat palms, or clap with cupped hands You can clap with two fingers, or rub your hands together You can snap with one hand, or with two Now imagine all the possibilities when you use vocal percussion and other mouth sounds You can whistle, sing, hum, click, pop, beat-bo, or rap You can imitate barnyard animals, ungle animals, mechanical sounds, a rock band, or an orchestra Combine body percussion with vocal percussion and mouth sounds, and the possibilities are endless Body Electric 20 eplores some of these possibilities in the form of grooves and other rhythm activities that are accessible, educational, and wildly fun And the best part of all is that you don t need to spend hundreds of dollars on epensive musical instruments for the class Each student brings his or her own unique instrument to class every time For each piece I offer a suggested form for performance But for goodness sakes, it s not Beethoven or Bach It s Burrows Feel free to reshape each piece so that it best meets the needs of you and your students Use your music teacher super powers! You know what works best in your learning environment Above all, have fun! Sure, our students need to learn about quarter notes, eighth rests, dembes, snare drums, and such But remember If they love it, they ll learn it The reverse isn t necessarily true Mark Burrows 2

Body am Since this piece starts with stomps, there was some temptation to call this piece Toe am, but wiser minds prevailed Body am uses four great forms of body percussion stomps, thigh pats, claps, and lip pops Suggested Form For Section A, layer in the parts one at a time, every measures Start with the top line (stomp) and work your way down Once all the parts are in, have them play together for 8 measures Then have all parts play Section B for 8 measures Net have all the parts return to Section A Conduct the whole group through crescendos and decrescendos Close by having the group crescendo to very loud, then end on a strong downbeat Section A Body am Thighs Lip Pop Section B Thighs Lip Pop

Walking Rhythms In each of the Walking Rhythms, the stomp part is the same: a steady walking beat The top line for each is different, with each successive rhythm getting slightly more comple All three Walking Rhythms are designed so that one individual can perform both parts of each rhythm The walking rhythms are also fun to play in the classroom The students can perform the rhythms while walking in a circle around the room Suggested Forms 1 2 3 Each walking rhythm may be performed by itself Or the three rhythms may be performed in succession Yet another option is to mi and match the different rhythms to create all-new forms For eample, you could create a Walking Rhythm Rondo by performing: Walking Rhythm 1 for four measures Walking Rhythm 2 for four measures Walking Rhythm 1 for four measures Walking Rhythm 3 for four measures Walking Rhythm 1 for four measure Walking Rhythms Walking Rhythm 1 chest tummy L - R - L - R sim Walking Rhythm 2 L - R - L - R sim Walking Rhythm 3 Snap L - R - L - R sim 5

Palmas Palmas is the rhythmic clapping found in Spanish flamenco music and dance These palmas pieces are a more simplified version of what you might hear in authentic flamenco music In Palmas I, Part 2 is Part 1, played backwards The two parts fit together to create an interlocking flow of eighth notes In Palmas II, Parts 1 and 2 trade rhythms after each measure This is another way to create that steady stream of eighth notes without giving your students carpal-tunnel In Palmas III, Part 2 claps a steady beat while Part 1 claps the rhythm to a well-known rhyme Also, consider using other familiar rhymes as the basis for the rhythm to Palmas III Suggested Forms 1 2 3 You can divide the students into two groups, Part 1 and Part 2, and play one, two or all three rhythms in succession You may assign a set number of measures to each, or cue the group when they should change to the net palmas Or, you can divide the students into si groups, with two groups responsible for each palmas rhythm In this configuration, you can: Have the first two groups perform Palmas I for 8 measures Have the net two groups perform Palmas II for 8 measures Have the last two groups perform Palmas III for 8 measures Have all groups perform Palmas together for measures End with a strong downbeat This can add variety to a percussion program by not having everyone perform everything all the time Another performance option is to have students perform the palmas rhythms one on a part Palmas I Part 1 Part 2 Palmas Palmas II Part 1 Part 2 Palmas III Old Mother Hubbard Part 1 Old Moth - er Hub- bard, she Part 2 went to the cup - board 6

Cuban Groove Cuban Groove uses body percussion to imitate some traditional Cuban instruments: The tummy pats represent the congas The claps represent a 2+3 clave pattern The thigh pats represent the bongos The stomps represent a steady cowbell pattern Suggested Form For Section A layer in the parts one at a time, every measures Start with the bottom line (stomps), and work your way up Once all the parts are in, groove for 8 measures Then go to Section B This section is set up as a call and response between solo tummy pats and the other parts Options include: o The soloist can perform four calls to which the other parts respond o The soloist can make up original calls, or use some of those provided After four passes through Section B, return to Section A for 8 measures Close with a strong downbeat Section A tummy chest Thighs Cuban Groove Section B Call: tummy chest Thighs Response: Additional Calls tummy chest 7
