Hi Monvitha
Great job getting building one more important musical skill – this time with rhythm! We can make out you had a fun time singing all those patterns. Here’s some stars and claps for you: ✨✨✨✨✨👏👏👏👏👏
Dear Parent,
Rhythm is an essential part of music, and is frequently ignored in the teaching phase. By becoming conversant with the basic 4/4 rhythm (4 beats in every line, which repeats), the children are internalising standard rhythm. By playing around the patterns, the children are experiencing how the same pattern can create different types of musical elements.
Please see our pointwise feedback below on your child’s performance:
Confidence and Independence – excellent
Understanding of the concept or exercise – excellent
Singing/ Pitching – good*
Rhythm – good*
Overall control (volume, breath etc) – excellent
Pronunciation/ recollection of lyrics – excellent
Monvitha seems to have enjoyed this exercise.
She was changing the speed at times and there was a bit of confusion on where the pattern ended and next one started at times; would be good to re-do this at home. Sing calmly/ slowly and clearly.
You can also encourage her to replace the oranges and apples with other words – and she might even compose her own song. Remember to keep it simple at first so that one doesn’t lose the underlying rhythm.

Please do share these experiments with us too 🙂
