Kindergartens Keep the BEAT!

Click HERE to watch the video.

Kindergarten students are learning how to keep the beat. The beat is the steady pulse in music - that quiet force that inspires you to tap your toe to the radio. Like your heart beat, sometimes it’s a fast beat (when we are exercising), and sometimes it’s a slow beat (when we are resting), but it is always, always steady.
This week, we chose different places to keep the beat on our bodies while we listened to the classic song, "The Ants Go Marching One by One". Listen to the video to the right, and try keeping the beat in a new place for each verse. If you'd like some help, I've included some of the students' suggestions below!

Keep the beat on your knees!

Keep the beat by tapping your feet!

Keep the beat on your head -
Be gentle!

Keep the beat by clapping
your hands!
