#FUN RAP BEAT FULL#

Often the group will find an adult talking absolute nonsense pretty funny, and this is a good icebreaker to get them in the mood for having a go themselves. Show them by talking in time to the beat about a random subject, point out objects in the room, and make a point of not rhyming. This is the clever part - tell the group that they donвЂ™t have to rhyme at all, just try to talk in time to the beat about whatever they want. Listen to the beat, listen to the claps.вЂќД®xplain all this so they can see what skills they are trying to pick up and why this is important.ДЄt this point you may notice some of the group starting to say, вЂњI canвЂ™t rap, IвЂ™m not doing itвЂќ etc. Demonstrate this to the group with a really simple rap, along the lines of: Get the group to count 1,2,3,4 in time to the beat and point out to them that the snare is on beats 2 and 4.ДЇor rappers, knowing where the snare is and being able to pick it out is key вЂ“ generally the rhyming words of the rap will tend to land in time with a snare.Point out the snare and get them to clap in time to that.Point out the kick or bass drum, and get them to stamp their foot in time to it.Next explain to the group what the different sounds in the beat are: This will establish a relaxed mood within the group, which helps the more reserved young people to find the confidence to get involved. The beat created using the VIP Hip Hop Tutorials is ideal. If you choose something really hyped up it will be exhausting to listen to for long periods of time. With this in mind we created this activity where young people could get experience of performing, keeping time to the beat, public speaking and improvisation, but in a slightly less nerve-wracking more entry-level fun way.Д¬hoose a relaxed and slow Hip Hop instrumental (85-90 bpm). We realised that rapping on a mic and performing were great in terms of building excitement and generating confidence within a group, but can be daunting activities and tend only to happen late on in a project by which point more confident young people can start to dominate. This game could be incorporated into a Rap project, especially in the early stages to help build confidence and promote the idea of performing raps in front of their peers!ДЇrom our classroom experience we have found this to be an effective way to teach rhythm and reinforce key skills for both rap and music production. Today we are sharing the Talk to the Beat game.
