What is body percussion?

The human body is the instrument! Body percussion is a brilliant way to warm up and a useful tool for creating music in a group. It is incredibly accessible as the human body is your instrument that every participant possesses. 

Have a try at this body percussion activity. It really does sound like a rainstorm.
