We have a great article on subdividing. Check it out here! Let’s take a walk in the jungle! “Walking In The Jungle” uses full body involvement (walking, stomping, jumping, skipping) with some creative play to teach steady beat. Gather your children and teach this song to the whole family. Listening to music can spontaneously include doing some of the actions too! For instance, if you hear the song Umburra, sit down and pick an object to pass around on the beat. If you are practicing Bill Grogan’s Goat, have your student clap 4 times or nod their heads 4 times, between each line, etc. The more senses you use while “playing” the more your student will internalize. Let your student pretend “teach” a Let’s Play Music class to you, their siblings, or stuffed animals. This is great music practice and it’s FUN for them! Have a musical day! -Ms. Bethany 🙂 |
