Introduction
In this music lesson, we will be joining Zara and me for a fun and interactive class. We will start by warming up our bodies and voices, then move on to learning and practicing nursery rhymes. Get ready to sing, move, and have a great time together!
Warm-up Exercises
Before we dive into the nursery rhymes, let's start with some warm-up exercises to prepare our bodies and voices.
2.1 Shoulder Rolling
We'll begin by rolling our shoulders backward and forward. This simple exercise helps relax our muscles and release any tension in our shoulders.
2.2 Breathing Exercises
Next, we'll focus on our breathing. Slowly breathe in through your nose, allowing the air to fill your belly. Then, exhale gently through your mouth. Remember to take your time and do the breathing exercises slowly.
2.3 Lip Loosening and Vocal Warm-up
Now, let's loosen up our lips by singing "Baba Black Sheep" together. Relax your jaw and try to make the sound with a nice relaxed tone. This exercise helps warm up our vocal cords and improve our singing abilities.
2.4 Brain Warm-up
To warm up our brains, we'll start by leaving out certain parts of nursery rhymes while performing the actions. This activity challenges us to think about the rhythms and actions, engaging our brains in a fun way.
2.5 Solfege Scale Singing
Lastly, we'll sing the solfege scale. Take two beats on each note, but this time, leave out the actual note and sing it in your head. Remember to do the hand actions as well. This exercise helps enhance our musical memory and understanding of pitch.
Nursery Rhyme Activities
Now that we are warmed up and ready, let's move on to some playful nursery rhyme activities.
3.1 The Man in the Moon
We will start with "The Man in the Moon" nursery rhyme. I'll say a line, and I want you to echo it back to me. This nursery rhyme is not only fun to sing but also helps improve our listening skills.
3.2 Bim Bam Nursery Rhyme
Next, let's learn the "Bim Bam" nursery rhyme. I'll teach you the actions for each word, and we'll practice them together. The actions for "Bim" are [demonstrate]. Practice them with me - "Bim." Now, let's move on to the action for "Bam" - [demonstrate]. Practice it with me - "Bam." Finally, the action for "Diddle Diddy Biddy" is [demonstrate]. Practice it with me - "Biddy Biddy."
