Promoting Learning Through Musical Experiences Young children delight in expressing themselves through song, rhyme, and movement. When you incorporate songs and fi ngerplays in daily classroom activities, you engage children in a shared experience that builds learning, active participation, and enjoyment. Integrating songs and fi ngerplays into daily instruction also enables learners to use their brains and bodies in meaningful and fun ways. Th ese experiences contribute to the development of essential skills. Oral Language • Age-appropriate and theme-aligned selections introduce new words and build vocabulary. • Recordings and teacher modeling present fl uent language modelsodels for children to follow. Auditory Discrimination • Repetition of rhymes and motions improves auditory memory.y. • Repeated listening helps children compare and contrast sounds.ds. • Frequent opportunities to participate develop children’s sensee ofof rhythm and rhyme. Large and Small Motor Skills • Practicing hand and fi nger movements develops precision of fi ne motor skills. • Deliberate large body movements encourage children to

Singing and Moving Throughout the Day Songs and Fingerplays selections are theme-aligned and integrated throughoutoughout Big Day instruction and daily routines. • Two selections each week are referenced in the Teaching Guides ass ppartart of alphabet knowledge Big Experiences. Th e word exemplars in thesehese selections provide opportunities for children to hear, produce, andd iidentifydentify target letter-sounds. • A third selection each week may be used aft er rest time in full-dayy classrooms, to help focus and energize children before their next aactivity.ctivityy. Children will enjoy repetition of favorite songs and fi ngerplays during morningmorning Meet and Greet routines, transition times, play time, or any time. Provideide many opportunities to revisit children’s favorite selections, and encourage themem to experiment with music concepts, including volume, pitch, and tempo.

Introduction to Songs & Fingerplays 5

SBD_SF_E_FM.indd 5 12/24/09 9:33:00 AM Music in the Preschool Classroom by Dr. Antonio Fermín

Nurturing a Love of Music Integrating music throughout your children’s PreK day provides experiences that help children build social skills, fi ne and gross motor skills, confi dence, and enjoyment of school and each other. Th rough many opportunities to enjoy music with others, you nurture children’s love of music-making and sharing.

You Can Teach Songs and Fingerplays Many teachers approach music and movement with concerns about their ability to sing and to teach music. Th e good news is that the children are naturally drawn to participate in music and movement. If you display enthusiasm about song and fi ngerplay selections, children will tend to follow suit, and wholeheartedly join in. In addition, you can rely on the song recordings to introduce the melodies and rhythms to the class.

Developing Children’s Musical Abilities Begin early in the year by modeling for children the diff erence between speaking and singing. Th is simple contrast will support them in the early stages of their vocal development. To complement their eff orts, play a recording of the song, and invite children to clap along. You can help establish the building blocks of musical enjoyment and profi ciency by building children’s awareness of a few basic elements, and providing repeated opportunities for practice. TM & @ Scholastic Inc. All rights reserved. Steady Beat and Rhythm Preschoolers can keep a steady beat, and you can nurture this ability through having children identify and practice clapping the beat. Help children by gently patting the beat on their shoulders, or mirror you as you clap. Encourage children to participate in “guess the song” by clapping a song’s rhythm. Children should be able to recognize a familiar selection simply from hearing its clapped rhythm. Th en, ask children to step the beat and clap the rhythm aft er you model an example:

RHYTHM Mary had a little lamb, little lamb, little lamb BEAT

Practice patterns by providing rhythm instruments and short rhythm patterns for children to echo. Let children invent their own patterns for you and others to echo.

6 Music in the Preschool Classroom

SBD_SF_E_FM.indd 6 12/24/09 9:33:06 AM Reﬂ ect Musical Elements and Expression Through Movement You can use movement to make children aware of musical elements and to help them show what they hear. Children can refl ect tempo, or the speed of the beat, by moving slowly to a slow beat, and speeding up when they hear a change. Children can use their bodies to refl ect how melody moves high and low. Engage them in movement, moving hands, arms, or whole bodies up when the melody rises, and low when it descends. Lastly, children love to show loud and soft . Th ey can soft ly tiptoe when music is soft and make bold, spirited movements when music gets louder.

Most importantly, give children frequent opportunities to express themselves through music and movement. Try performing the same song in a range of dynamics, from soft to loud, or, for example, in the case of a march, step soft ly as if the parade were far away, then louder as it approaches, then very loud as it reaches the end of the parade. Working with such varieties of loud-soft dynamics can encourage children’s emotional expression and sensory imagery. Let them experiment with the musical elements of fast/slow, loud/soft , and others, and encourage individuals to develop their own ideas and lead others in performance.

Teaching Songs and Fingerplays: A Five-Day Plan

Preparation: For best results, practice the selection and movements ahead of time, so you can be a consistent model for children. Use the song recordings to learn the melodies. TM & @ Scholastic Inc. All rights reserved. Day 1: Model the fi ngerplay or play the song recording. Invite children to do some of the movements with you, and join in on repeated words or the chorus as they are ready. Explain meanings of words as needed.

Day 2: Model again, reviewing the motions and inviting children to join in on the words and motions as they are able. Some selections will take longer for children to learn than others. Applaud their eff orts and, if necessary, provide suggestions for focusing on repeated sections or the simplest parts of selections.

Day 3: Continue having children practice putting words and motions together.

Day 4: Children are becoming more expert. Work on performing with expression, varying loud/soft , clapping the beat, adding instruments, and expressive movement.

Day 5: Invite small groups to lead the class in performing the selection. Repeat, giving all children an opportunity to be in the lead group.
