Teacher skills video: Beat and rhythm
This Music video supports teachers in developing effective strategies for teaching beat and rhythm at key stage one. It explores what beat and rhythm look like in a classroom setting, common challenges pupils may face, and how these foundational skills progress as pupils move into the upper key stages. Through clear modelling, movement activities, and simple instrument use, the video helps teachers build pupil confidence in recognising, maintaining, and responding to a steady beat before formally introducing rhythm.
