Content :
Creative rhythmic movements are movements that go with sounds. These include the following:
People Marching
A group of people for example, Boys Scouts, Girls Brigade, Soldiers and the Police produce rhythms and sounds while marching.
The command ‘left right, left right’ by the leader gives the group the marching order. This results in regular movements with rhythms and sounds. At the command of the leader, marching could become quick or slow.
Movement of Animals
Some animals that move in groups create specific rhythms and sounds as they move. Example of these animals are cows, camels, sheep, horses and elephants.
An increase in rhythm and sound is created by forcing the animals to move faster
Movement of Machines
Common machines such as grinding machines, generators, train engines, vehicle engines, printing machines, conveyor machines and motor-cycles produce specific rhythms and sounds when moving or when in use. Increase in speed increases the regular movement and sound of these machines.
