WEEK 1: PreTwinkle Exercises - Clapping Rhythms

Carefully read page 22 of your book (Step by Step, an introduction to successful practice, volume 1A by Kerstin Wartberg).
Clap according to the book’s directions, to the following rhythms on your CD:
Track 2: The 1st Twinkle rhythm, “taka taka tack tack”, or “taka-taka stop stop”
Track 11: The 2nd Twinkle rhythm “tick tack (stop) tock”
Track 15: The 3rd Twinkle rhythm, “tack ti-ke, tack ti-ke” or “down wiggle, up wiggle” (remember how we hopped to this rhythm in class? Try it!)
Track 19: The 4th Twinkle rhythm, “Ram ta ta, Ram ta ta” or “pineapple pineapple”
Track 23: The 5th Twinkle rhythm, “taka-taka taka-taka” or “caterpillar caterpillar” (Remember bouncing your hand like a ball with this one? Can you do it at home?)
