Singing BAPNE®: Body Percussion and Voice as a Didactic Element

AbstractThe use of the voice and singing in the field of body percussion is one of the less studied aspects from a pedagogical point of view.

As a result, “Singing Bapne” was born as a specific form of vocal and kinesthetic learning, structured into four levels of difficulty based on various rhythmical and melodical voices. This way of working comes from the body movement to which we add melodic parts, rich in onomatopoeic elements and scats
