On the next page, you will have the opportunity to record yourself improvising to the music.

Before we move on, let's start by listening to the music so you know what to expect.

Try tapping your foot while you listen to connect with the groove.

Audio Response

Record yourself improvising to the beat of the video example below with your hand drum. Keep the overall style of the music in mind as you improvise.

You may choose to use your hand or your mallet to perform.

Be sure to practice your performance before you record.

Press play to listen to the video example. Improvise for at least 15 to 20 seconds. The video example is longer to allow you time to prepare and practice.

*If it does not allow you to play the video and perform at the same time in Quizizz, you can open the video in a separate window.
