Learn each of three parts by clapping or tapping your lap while you watch the video.

The tambourine: clap.

The drum: pat your lap.

Step 3 - Make or find a home-made instrument and play with the song. You can choose to make a drum, a triangle or a tambourine.

Search “make a simple drum” or “make a simple tambourine” on Google and you will find lots of ideas for how to make a simple instrument. Make the instrument, and then choose one of the three parts in “A Ram Sam Sam” and play along with the second video above.

When you can play it, video yourself playing the piece and save for future assessment

In this video there are three untuned percussion parts: the claves, the triangle and the tambourine. Firstly, learn to play each one of them by clapping your hands or tapping your lap. You may need to watch the video over and over again to learn the parts correctly.

Then find or make an instrument to use as a pair of claves, a triangle or a tambourine, and play it along with the video. This can be as simple as finding two sticks to hit together as claves, or a plastic container to use as a tambourine.

Then record your performance on video and save for future assessment
