Vocal Percussion

LI: Listen to and compare various examples of vocal percussion  Create, rehearse, perform(video) a vocal percussion presentation as part of a group

KC: Participating and Contributing

Vocal percussion is similar to body percussion, except you are only using noise/voice from your mouth. It can be "nonsense" syllables, beatboxes, or actually words. Watch these videos to get some good examples. The Bobby McFerrin interview is excellent.

Now that you have four examples, put yourselves in group to create your own vocal percussion. It can be comprised of whichever sounds you want - can be nonsense words, based on beatboxing, or using words that present a message. This needs to be created, rehearsed, performed and video by the end of the lesson. No specific length for your presentation to be - it should be long enough to be effective, short enough to not run on and get messy.

Please video using my ipad from class(in the green cupboard), so they will be waiting for me tomorrow.
