One of the earliest concepts a child learns in music class at school is the difference between beat and rhythm. The beat is the tempo or pace at which the piece of music is played, while the rhythm is the way the notes sound when played in sequence. Very often, the way music students learn the difference is with the use of classroom percussion instruments.
These instruments require the striking of two items together to make a noise, for example a drum, a triangle or maracas, as well as less familiar instruments like the vibraslap, the multi-tone wood block and the conga. These classroom percussion instruments introduce students to the concepts of beat and rhythm in a way that promotes creativity, variety and fun!
