It's Raining Tacos!

We had a bit of a smaller group than usual today, probably because of the unprecedentedly nice weather, but the kids who were present for the program were ready to sing! After a hearty vocal warmup and solfege, we worked on a favourite song of the kids': It's Raining Tacos. One thing I've noticed is that the kids tend to fall apart on their rhythm during the second half of the song, so I used this as a teaching opportunity to get everyone clapping together on the 1, and sure enough, incorporating the rhythm helped the kids sing the song more consistently throughout without speeding up. We finished off with another favourite song of the kids: Believer, by Imagine Dragons, picking apart different rhythms in the song and playing them out together on different instruments in the instrument bag. I was surprised by how well the kids took direction on dynamics!
