Rhythm

Longy rhythms (see sheet):

  • do 2-parts: tap with LH on Left leg, sing the beat on the numbers, and whisper the beat on the dots

Improvise your own rhythms on the Lap Map:

  • Tap LH on left leg and RH on right leg
  • No need to whisper on the “dots” that you make up
  • Sing on the numbers, be sure it’s the number on the leg you are tapping
