00:00This exercise is an introduction in how to make rhythmic patterns with the

00:06sounds of your body. For this exercise we're going to use three main sounds so

00:12first of all I would like us to just explore these sounds. The first of which

00:17is a stamp. So after a count of four please can we all stamp together. One, two,

00:23three and. What an excellent stamp. Let's try one of those for luck. One, two, three

00:31and. Wonderful. The second of our sounds is going to be on our bellies. So let's

00:38just take a minute, gently rub our bellies to prepare the belly. Really nice

00:45and just tap it and see what kind of nice sounds you can make with your belly.

00:50What part of your belly sounds good to you?
