week 13

During this week of class we finished up the group literature projects. my group actually went twice because our teacher forgot to record us the first time. but that was OK because we got extra credit for it.

We also learned about another music concept called Tempo. Tempo is fast and /or slow. we learned about this concept through a movement lesson. we stared off by listening to different styles of music and passed a ball around the circle to the right. When the music changed tempo we would reverse the direction the ball was going in.

This is an important concept to teach children because music can involve being sung or played at different speeds. I think that a movement lesson can really demonstrate this concept well to children because they can see and feel the tempo.
