Teaching Procedures
Play Note Name Memory
Copy LinkReview “Deep and Wide”
Copy LinkUse this song to review tempo terms and to practice reading the dotted quarter-eighth note rhythm. Read the rhythms and sing the melody using note names or solfege. When the students have learned the melody, sing the song.
Teach the actions and sing the song with actions.
Use this song to present the dotted quarter note-eighth note rhythm. Teach the students that a dot after a not increases its value by half of the value of the note. Lois Choksy taught that you add the value of a dot by adding the sound “m” to the note. Thus, ta when dotted would become ta-m. You would read this rhythm: ta-m ti (or use the rhythm names you prefer.) Read the rhythms and sing the melody using note names or solfa.
