Music Skills: Percussion Edition

British Army Music brings you a toolkit of four engaging resources, helping to bridge the gap between KS3 Music and the Music GCSE curriculum. This percussion resource is introduced by Lance Corporal Lekai Lee, one of British Army Music’s star drummers. He explains and demonstrates the basic drumming rudiments, and how different grooves are created.

Each resource focuses on one instrument to develop a wide range of skills, covering instrument knowledge, music history, as well as composition and listening skills. They have been designed to make lesson planning simple, with the option to be completed as a full-length lesson or individual elements used as lesson starters, extension activities, homework or to aid in revision. The resource consists of an in depth video, class slides, and worksheet with tasks for students to complete as a class or independently.
