Rhythm Sticks Rap & Tap CD

Get children moving, learning, and grooving with the Rhythm Sticks Rap & Tap CD by Michael Plunkett-an engaging audio resource designed to introduce rhythm, coordination, and educational concepts through music. This interactive CD combines lively tunes and instructional tracks that encourage children to use rhythm sticks to follow patterns, explore directions, and build essential skills. With a variety of fun and catchy tracks like Rhythm Stick Cha-Cha, Rockabilly Rhythm Sticks, and Beat Street, children can practise tempo, dynamics, movement control, and listening in a fun and engaging way. The music reinforces fundamental concepts such as loud/soft, fast/slow, forward/backward, colours, numbers, and directional awareness. Rhythm stick play also promotes motor development, body awareness, creativity, and group participation. Featuring both vocal instruction and instrumental versions of several tracks, this CD is versatile for both guided sessions and free movement play. Ideal for early years settings and inclusive learning environments.
