Benefits: Helps to teach body part vocabulary and articulation/vocalization. The good thing about it being acappella is that the words are easy to hear and the feel of the music is gentler.
Other uses: Tap twice after each short phrase. Go ahead and sing other similar sounds during the artic portion. This portion is also a good time for older children to come up with their ideas about where to tap.
