Chants are rhythmic group recitations that involve repetition and musical qualities. They can range from simple melodies to complex structures. Raps are a form of poetry that emphasizes rhyming words spoken over rhythmic backing tracks. Both chants and raps involve rhythmic speaking. However, chants generally have a more melodic and repetitive structure, while raps focus on fast rhythmic speech with rhyming lyrics. Carolyn Graham discovered that American English speech rhythms are closely linked to jazz music rhythms, forming the basis for her method of "jazz chants" to teach pronunciation and stress patterns to language learners.
