Exploring notation using pulse and rhythm
This Music video introduces teachers to simple strategies for exploring pulse and rhythm with EYFS pupils using visual notation. It demonstrates the use of heart maps to represent the beat of music, encourages the development of inner (thinking) voice, and supports beat-keeping through singing, pointing, clapping, and movement. The video highlights key techniques for nurturing pulse awareness and early rhythmic skills through familiar songs and playful practice.
This video is part of Kapow Primary’s Music EYFS resources. It builds the foundations for musical learning by helping children internalise pulse and rhythm in fun and accessible ways.
