Music beats
Subject: Musical theory and elements
Age range: 7-11
Resource type: Lesson (complete)
Music notes divide time in half, or quarters etc. and using movement avoids the need to understand fractions first. This is one way of introducing notation by working out how many 'beats&' each word takes, e.g.:
Twin-kle, twin-kle, lit-tle star
walk walk walk walk walk walk stride
Bee bee bee bee bee bee worm
cr cr cr cr cr cr m
(cr=crotchet, m=minim)
INTERCURRICULA LINKS:
Movement - self-regulation, balance
Numeracy - experiencing fractions, time
Literacy - experiencing syllables
Creativity - tools to &';write' own songs

just it! simple and clear...thanks!
The syllables and the rhythms of the words are an excellent way for the children t relate to the rhythm. Unfortunately for me, I use the terms ''whole note", half note and quarter note, etc. for the names of the rhythms, so I am unable to edit the terms. However, thanks so much for the great post.
