The Activity
Our bodies are our most important musical and communicative instruments.
They never stop creating rhythm and music throughout the day. Whether we’re walking, talking, typing on a computer, or even sound asleep and completely unconscious, our hearts never stop keeping the beat of life.
This brings us to one of the most important revelations in music: our bodies are naturally rhythmic!
We’re in a café, ordering a coffee, and thinking about everything we need to get done by the end of the day.
A song we don’t even like comes on the radio, but our foot starts tapping along anyway.
It’s instinctive, it’s primal, but most of all, it’s natural.
Our minds may struggle to find the beat or identify the song’s basic rhythms, but our bodies do so with astonishing ease.
The activity is simple: the audience is divided into three sections, each of which is given a rhythmic and vocal part.
When combined, these parts create “We Will Rock You,” leaving everyone amazed.
