Tumbling Down
Posted by Megan Kirk
The PreK-4 and kindergarten class did an excellent job performing on stage for the first time this year! The students have been itching to get up on stage for assembly, and we chose this song about fall to make their debut! When students first listened to this song we talked about the form, or the pattern the song had. As a class students used their “musical ears” to figure out which parts of the song were the same and which were different. We then labeled those parts with letters. In addition to learning about musical form students also learned about how to project your voice in a healthy way. We have a little friend “Bob” who is only an inch tall. When Bob is on our finger right next to us we can speak in a soft voice, but when he is sitting on the basketball hoop, like he was today during assembly, our voices have to reach to him without shouting! We use deep “belly breathing” to help project our voices. It is not as easy at it may seem! Getting up on stage at a young age builds such a sense of confidence and pride, and ou students are so lucky the will have many opportunities to perform throughout the year!
