We began this class with a review of our TikTok challenge (where the kids tapped their fingers together to the rhythm of a song that’s gone viral on the app). The goal of the challenge is to compare which finger different people end up on at the end of the song clip, to see how everybody counts the rhythm of this particular song (which has caused some confusion on TikTok). This segued into the main part of our lesson, which was learning the difference between quarter, half, and whole notes. We practiced these first with clapping, then with our fingers going up positions on the piano, as we practiced last week. Hopefully with this foundation we can start reading more complicated rhythms on the sheet music next week. Until then, our challenge was to find a pop song to practice counting to with alternating note values. I’m excited to learn about the kids’ favourite songs!
