Moana, Maui, Pua, and Heihei are beloved characters in our house already, but now that they’ve taught us all of these new drum beats, we love them even more! The Beat of Your Heart is a musical activity book full of culture, fun, sound, and creativity. The rhythms progress from simple to difficult and are introduced along with percussion instruments like the fala, pahu, and fa’atete, which can all be constructed with household items.
Thank you, Hal Leonard, for our complimentary copy of your book in exchange for this review. We will have lots of fun clapping, patting, and drumming!
