Hi Avishka
Great job getting building one more important musical skill – this time with rhythm! We can make out you had a great time singing the pattern. Can you try to sing all the others too? Here’s some stars 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 – excellent
Rhythm – excellent
Overall control (volume, breath etc) – excellent
Pronunciation/ recollection of lyrics – excellent
Avishka seems to have enjoyed this exercise. Please encourage her to do the other patterns in the video and also to replace the oranges and apples with other words – this way she might even compose her own song. Remember to keep it simple at first so that one doesn’t lose the underlying rhythm.
