Our early years students are getting into the swing of things, moving to the music, practicing keeping a steady beat and matching pitch.  A favorite type of activity is moving to music with an easily felt beat.  

Today, Mr.G led the students in the song, “I’m So Glad To See You”, which gave the children the opportunity to count, march, clap, take giant steps, jump, pat their laps, tap their noses and sing to the beat.  Families at home can do similar things – sing songs together and clap the beat, listen to music on the radio and dance to the beat, count to 20 or 30 or 100 to the beat; the more experiences children have discovering the beat, the better!
