Appreciating stringed musical instruments

• Stringed instrument comes in a variety of sizes hence children can also learn how to play.
• Orchestra music which is mostly western culture cannot be performed without
stringed instruments
• Playing stringed instruments enhances enjoyment of music.

Rhythm
Rhythm refers to the pattern of sounds and silences that occur over time. It is the element of music that
creates a sense of movement and forward momentum and is always described as the heartbeat or pulse
of a piece of music.

Simple rhythmic patterns

Sing and clap the beat of the song ' Ten little Indians’

One little two little three little Indians

Four little five little six little Indians

Seven little eight little nine little Indians

Ten little Indian boys

Beat

A beat is the pulse of music.

When beats and rests are organized into pattern ti becomes a rhythmic pattern

Clap the syllables of the song ‘Ten little Indians’

One little two little three little Indians’

Four little five little six little Indians

Seven little eight little nine little Indians

Ten little Indian boys

• Beats can be short or long, for example;- In the song Ten little Indians’

One li- ttle two li- ttle three li- ttle in- dians

One is a long beat.

Group activity

Perform the song Ten little Indians’in groups

Guide learners into three groups

Group 1 to sing the song

Group 2 to play the beats by just clapping steadily

Group 3 to clap the rhythmic pattern by observing long beats and short beats in the song.

Appreciating simple rhythmic patterns in music

• Rhythm is the foundation of all music and is essential for creating structure and movement.
• Practicing rhythmic patterns and movement help develop fine motor skills,hand eye
coordination and overall physical coordination.
• Rhythm gets our body moving, guides us through the tune and communicates the emotions
of the piece of music.

Melody

Melody is a series of different tones or sounds in a piece of music.

The Notes are played or sung one after another to make up a song.

The tones in a melody may be low or high.

The highness or lowness of a tone is called pitch

[Date] 5
WATSAPP FOR MORE RESOURCES 0711299730
Melody is the tune or musical line or notes that our brains hear as one unit.

Melody variation.

Melody variation is when music is repeated in an altered form.

For example a composer might repeat melody or music in a different key,or play it with a different
rhythm

Music can be made more interesting by changing it’s rhythm or it’s pitch.

Improvising a simple melody variation

Guide learners to sing a familiar song like ' Baa baa black sheep '

Baa baa black sheep.

Have you any wool,

Yes sir,yes sir,

Three bags full.

One for my master,

And one for my dame,

And one for the little boy,

Who lives down the land.

Let learners make variation of the song Baa baa black sheep ' by singing with different pitches in groups.

Guide learners into groups and organize them to sing Baa baa black sheep, in turns.

Let learners sing the song with different pitches (high or low) to create melody variation.

Learners record the new song with variations in groups.

Appreciating melody variation in music

• Melody variations maintains the flow of music

• Make the music more dynamic and interesting
• Melody variation captures and holds listeners attention.

TOPIC 2: PERFORMING AND DISPLAY

D and pulling

Pushing

Pushing is a controlled forceful action performed against an object/obstacles/ partners body to move
the body away from the object or move the object in a preferred direction by applying fire to it.

Pulling
Pulling is a controlled movement and forceful action that brings an object closer to the body or the
body closer to the object. When pulling causes the body to move, followed by the object being pulled,it
is the pulling force that causes the body to follow the body.

A combination of pushing and pulling can be fun for the learner and should be arranged in progression
with regard to level of difficulty.

A signal may be used to prompt learners to change from one movement.

Teaching points for pushing

• Start from a staggered position for balance/ broad foot base

• Lower the body’s center of gravity
• Direct the line of force towards the object
• Keep the body in alignment as much as possible,do not bend the waist, and aim for a
forceful push
• Push should be controlled and firm.

Plaiting a three strand rope

Materials needed

Wool,strings,long grass,sisal fibres, plastic carrier bags

Procedure for plaiting a three strand rope

A three strand plait is the simplest to make;-

1. First,make a knot with the three strings to stop your plait coming unravelled, and fix your strings
down – you could tie them to something or stick them to a surface with a cello tape.

[Date] 13
WATSAPP FOR MORE RESOURCES 0711299730
 2. Start the plait by moving the left hand strand Infront of it’s next door neighbor to become the
middle strand

3. Now move the right hand to become the middle one.

4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until the plait is the length you want. It helps if you keep the strands
untangled below the place you are working, otherwise the plait can easily turn into a
messy tangle. Finish the plait with another knot to stop it becoming undone.

Singing own part in round songs
Learners to practice singing ‘Are you sleeping song ' as a class for mastery of the song.

After the learners have mastered the song and sing it very easily, put them in two or three groups.

Then guide learners to sing the song ' are you sleeping in their groups to make sure that each group can
actually sing well.

Then guide the first group to start singing the first line of ' Are you sleeping song ' when they start the
second line, the second group begins to sing from the first line, then as they continue to the second
line, the third group begins fro the first line.

So the first group will be the first to finish singing,followed by the second then finally the third group
finished last.

Let them continue singing the round song on their own for fun and enjoyment.

Singing Rounds with appropriate body movements

• Start from a squat/ crouched position

• Palms open with fingers widespread and firm on the ground.
• Feet close to the hands, knees slightly bent,hips raised above the shoulder level.
• Body curled over as much as possible with head well tucked in ( chin to the chest)
• Relax elbows and roll over softly on the mat, upper back contacting the ground first.
• Throughout the movement the head and the knees should be kept close together.
• The toes should push the body over, but the feet should not leave the ground soon
so that a bhang is not heard as the roll is completed.
• The roll is completed in a sitting or squat position.

• balance

This is a balance where the body assumes a V shape between the feet and the trunk while your backside
supports the body weight.

• V Balance helps the body to build endurance component of fitness.
