Cup percussion

Cup percussion

It is time for percussion. You only need a plastic cup and a table. We are going to use two melodies: Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star and Ode an die Freude. You already know the melodies so it will be very easy.

Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star.

1. First listen to the sound file to remeber the melody.

2. Watch the video and learn the movement you have to perform for the first part of the melody.
