Helbling Verlag Caboomba provides an excellent method for teaching rhythm, especially to children of primary school age up to secondary level 1, in which they learn both rhythmic basics and advanced techniques. These form an optimal basis for learning an instrument and a completely natural sense of rhythm. The book emphasizes learning together in a group and effectively teaches the most important elements such as coordination, communication, creativity, concentration and cooperation.
From speaking rhythms to body percussion to using percussion instruments in concert with other instruments, solid skills are formed that bring tremendous learning fun. The Cabooma pieces included in the book are arranged with varying degrees of difficulty and are even ideal as performance material. The edition is rounded off by 77 films in the media app, which offer an additional vivid mediation of the content.
