Lesson details
Key learning points
- Sounds in nature can be mimicked using the voice.
- Sound effects, such as altering the direction of sound, can be used to create interest and contrast.
- We can create music in the moment, using the voice or instruments, alone or with others. This is called improvisation.
- Building up a performance of different textures requires rehearsal, evaluation and improvement.

Common misconception
Beatboxing artists use only rhythmic patterns in their music.
Beatboxing is not always just about drum machine mimicry. Artists like Jason Singh, combine other sounds in his recordings.
