Body percussion: a prevention program in everyday teaching practice

Recent studies have mostly confirmed Gardners multiple intelligences theory. Music is an exceptional education medium, as it develops all the intelligences, not just the musical one. Therefore, a wider use of music in education should be considered. Body percussion is already in use in music therapy sessions, as it has positive effects on patients with various medical diagnoses. The aim of this paper is to point out the benefits of practicing body percussion in prevention of those diagnoses. As a school activity it can be easily included in everyday school routine: it does not require instruments or any special tools, it can be practiced in a multilingual ambience and it is suitable for all age groups.
