Gotta Dance! Practice music with your whole body!

When was the last time you turned on some music and boogied to the beat?

This is an extremely fun and important part of learning music!

Swaying to the pulse...marching to the beat...tapping to the rhythm...

all help musicians feel the natural pulse and beat of the song with their bodies.

Activity:  turn on your favorite music and start moving!

Skills:  Finding the pulse of the song and matching it with your body

Variations:  Find a scarf or ribbon to twirl with the music
                    Use sticks and tap out the beat
