Focus
Tempo: Fast vs. Slow Have you ever heard the word tempo? Ever wonder what is meant and how it relates to music? Tempo relates to the speed of the music! Is the song fast or slow? These are both examples of tempo! Think about the animals in the picture to my right. Which do you think moves faster- a rabbit or a turtle? Rabbits can hop from one place to another, making them fast than the turtle that crawls in the giant shell on his back. |
Song of the Week:
The Grand Old Duke of York (scroll down and click on the video near the bottom of the page) How does the tempo change as the song repeats? Was it fast like a rabbit or slow like a turtle? Check out this lesson plan for further exploration with this song! |
