Each child in my class loves movement so this will be great :)

Different steps to make it fun and interesting

Use of instruments

Rakes of Mallow movements and patterns

Exploration of instrument

Flexibility of the songs and actions

-Focus on the form in the music

Transitions (everybody please sit down) through singing will also catch children’s attention.

- variety of movements that we can do.

- Empowering children to choose actions they want foster creativity.

Takeaway:

• All activities involves working memory, inhibitory control and cognitive functioning.

• Sequencing, slowly embedding into the next step

• Include variations, free and easy. <Follow, follow then free. (Repeat)>

• Allow children to explore, try not to stop the children unless it’s harmful.

• Music is fun, not about counting but feeling and hearing the music

Feel the music. Dont be technical and leave room for improvisations and imperfections. Work step by step to build up to the end product/goal.

- Gain more knowledge about elements of music - forms (pattern). How to intro it to young children.

-Variations will make music and movement more engaging and fun.

-Let the children feel how to be the leader and let their ideas be heard

-It is not the lyrics that is important in songs. It is how patterns (form) is built and implemented.

In teaching the beat of the song the beat should not stop in between.
