BODY MUSIC: BODY PERCUSSION, BEATBOXING, AND VOICE with Geremia Lorenzo Lodi

Body Music is making sound with what is immediately available to every person: one’s voice and body, creating
rhythms, beats, and melodies. The activities proceed in an uninterrupted flow that captures participants’
attention by alternating progressive levels of engagement, inviting them to imitate and explore (call & response,
circle singing), experiment (variations), and eventually improvise and create (soloing and being protagonist).
The blend of body percussion, beatboxing, and singing allows each student multiple and complementary
entries into the world of rhythm and music, making it particularly accessible for all participants. The workshop
develops coordination and synchronization, focus, cooperation and reciprocity. Non-verbal communication is
favoured as the means of interaction.

Materials: Speakers or amplifier. If possible (but not indispensable), a smart-board or projector and a mic
stand.
