Hi there! Do you like music? Music is so much fun because we can do so many things with it. Let’s learn about playing music together!
Did you know you can play music fast like a cheetah running, or slow like a turtle walking? Both are super fun! When we play fast, it feels exciting. When we play slow, it feels calm and peaceful. Try clapping your hands fast and then slow. See how different it feels?
Music can also be soft like a whisper or loud like a lion’s roar. When we play soft, it’s gentle and quiet. When we play loud, it’s big and bold. You can try singing a song softly and then loudly. It’s like magic how the same song can feel so different!
One of the best things about music is playing and singing with friends. When we make music together, it sounds amazing! You can play an instrument, clap your hands, or sing along. It’s like a big, happy team working together to make beautiful sounds.
Grab a friend or family member and try making music together. You can use anything around you, like a pot and a spoon, to make your own band. Play fast, slow, soft, and loud. Don’t forget to sing along too! Making music together is all about having fun and being creative.
Yay for music! Keep playing and singing, and you’ll discover all the wonderful things you can do with music. Enjoy making your own special sounds!
Sound Detective: Go on a sound hunt around your home or classroom. Listen carefully and find things that make different sounds. Can you find something that makes a soft sound like a whisper? How about something loud like a lion’s roar? Share your discoveries with your friends and see if they can guess what made each sound!
Fast and Slow Dance Party: Play a game where you dance to music that changes speed. Ask an adult to play a song and switch between fast and slow parts. When the music is fast, dance quickly like a cheetah. When it slows down, move slowly like a turtle. Notice how your body feels with the different speeds. Can you think of other animals that move fast or slow?
Make Your Own Instrument: Create a simple musical instrument using everyday items. You can use a container with rice or beans to make a shaker, or stretch rubber bands over a box to make a guitar. Experiment with playing your instrument softly and loudly. How does it change the sound? Share your instrument with a friend and make music together!
Here’s a sanitized version of the YouTube transcript:
“I can play fast, and I can play slow. When we play together, it’s pretty awesome. Oh, you’re talking, Phil? We’re working it out together, yeah, and singing it, Alice. [Music] And I can play soft. [Music] Play together and sing together. [Music] Nice! [Applause] [Music]”
