Sažetak
Scholars are increasingly pointing out that preferring STEM subjects (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) should be replaced with STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, ARTS and Mathematics) as art subjects are proven to increase creative thinking in students of all ages. Body percussion is easy to incorporate in everyday teaching, especially in the first few years of elementary school. It does not require special tools or instruments and it can be practiced in any space given. It is suitable to practice even at an early age, and no previous knowledge is necessary. There are evidences that it enhances motor abilities and cognitive functions. It entails auditory, visual and kinaesthetic concentration. As it is practiced in a group setting, body percussion also helps to develop social skills and self-awareness and there are studies that show that it helps to reduce stress and anxiety. The aim of this paper is to show the benefits of body percussion and point out how easily it can be embodied in everyday school routine by presenting a few examples.
