We have been developing our sense of steady beat and using tuned/untuned percussion to mark rests in music. Two songs that we have learned are Bell Horses and Hob Shoe Hob.
The heart above the words represents the beat of the song and we have learned that sometimes there are also gaps in music called ‘rests’. It’s important for us to count those beats and in these two songs, we’ve used body percussion and untuned percussion to show where the rests are. Below are two videos of the class singing Bell Horses with triangles and chime bars to mark the rests.
