Hi there, little friend! Today, we’re going to talk about two fun things: music and breathing. Are you ready? Let’s go!
Music is like magic sounds that make us feel happy, excited, or even sleepy. We can hear music when we sing songs, play instruments like the piano or guitar, or listen to our favorite tunes. Music can be fast or slow, loud or soft, and it can make us want to dance or relax.
Did you know that music can be made by clapping your hands or tapping your feet? Try it out and make your own music!
Breathing is something we do all the time, even when we’re sleeping! It’s how we get air into our bodies. We breathe in through our nose or mouth, and then we breathe out. Breathing helps us feel calm and gives us energy to play and learn.
Take a deep breath in through your nose, hold it for a second, and then let it out slowly through your mouth. Doesn’t that feel nice?
Guess what? Music and breathing can work together to help us feel great! When we listen to music, we can breathe in and out with the beat. This can make us feel relaxed and happy.
Put on your favorite song and try to breathe in and out with the music. You can even dance a little if you want!
Now that you know a bit about music and breathing, you can explore more. Listen to different kinds of music and see how they make you feel. Practice your breathing whenever you want to feel calm or focused.
Have fun, and remember, music and breathing are always there to help you feel your best!
Music and Breathing Adventure: Go on a mini adventure around your home or classroom. Find different objects that can make sounds, like a pot, a spoon, or a book. Try tapping or clapping along with your favorite song. As you make music, practice breathing in and out with the rhythm. Can you make a new song with your sounds and breathing?
Breathing Buddy: Pair up with a friend or a family member and take turns being the “Breathing Buddy.” One person plays a gentle song, and the other practices breathing in and out with the music. After a few minutes, switch roles. Talk about how the music and breathing made you feel. Did it make you feel calm or happy?
Feel the Music: Listen to different types of music, like a fast song and a slow song. As you listen, notice how your breathing changes. Does fast music make you breathe faster? Does slow music make you breathe slower? Try drawing a picture of how each type of music makes you feel. Share your drawings with your friends or teacher.
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:
