Introducing the hip hop beat

Users follow a tutorial that teaches the controls of the Charanga rhythm machine through building a simple hip hop beat from scratch.

Teacher notes:
This is suitable as a first-ever activity using the Charanga rhythm machine. Users learn how to use the controls in the context of creating a hip hop rhythm from scratch, which they can then customise in their own way and save to bank memory. Finally they play back a longer rhythm by switching between the banks they have created. This could be used as a backing while they rap their own lyrics.
