Teaching a Song to Early Years ChildrenSing the song once. If children begin to sing the song with you, stop and ask them to sing with the rest of the class and be your helpers so that everyone can hear the song that you are singing by yourself. If you have a recording, most songs are sung too fast and they need to hear the song in tune correctly and slowly. Teach one line at a time. Once they have repeated the song, have them sing it with you together. Once they know it well, stop singing with them but sing only the first words of every line of the song and eventually, you will only need to sing the beginning of the song and they will continue. Do not expect this in September. You will sing most of the time by yourself until they get to know you. This is why you begin with fingerplays. Ask for volunteers to do the actions and once they see what the others do, they will want to join in. Be sure to drink lots of water to stay hydrated and bring a mug with you and drink water througout the day. The basic concepts learned in Early Years is Beat, Rhythm, Loud/Soft, Fast/Slow and Low Voice/High Voice. Students play rhythm instruments and move to music using scarves and body. Formations are learned in singing games.

NEZ ROUGE (Rudolph)

On l’appelait Nez Rouge, Oh! Comme il était mignon, Le p’tit renne au nez rouge,Rouge comme un lumignon, Son p’tit nez faisait rire, Chacun s’en moquait beaucoup,On allait jusqu’à dire, Qu’il avait le nez partout. Une fée qui l’entendit, Pleurer dans le noir,Pour le consoler lui dit, «Viens au paradis ce soir, Comme un ange, au nez rouge, Tu conduiras dans le ciel, Avec ton p’tit nez rouge, Le chariot du Pere Noël.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJDPeQSqICM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUa42kRGw-0

History of Carnaval

We discuss Carnaval.I show them the videos on the Carnaval website: parade, ice sculptures, ice palace, ice hotel, dogsledding, canoe racing with Rick Mercer, check out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cEivA1VKOS8

We discuss la ceinture flechée and its uses with the voyageurs-used to keep warm, hold tools and packages, tie up the canoe. Students notice that Bonhomme Carnaval wears une ceinture as well.Bonhomme gigueur-used for entertainment –no TV, videos in those days and singing and dancing was used to keep them paddling and entertained.

This song is about a long time ago when there were candles for light and to write, one used a feather and ink in an ink bottle. I have the students do the actions and this is a calming song.

On the second line of the refrain, they switch arms and go the other way. Teach boys to bow and girls to curtsy. Salute as soldiers and play an instrument as musicians. On “les beaux (messieurs) garçons”, the boys bow. “ Les belles (dames) filles”-girls curtsy. “Les soldats”-salute “Les musiciens”-play an instrument

Use tone bells so that they can see the sounds. We use also boomwhackers and glockenspiels/xylophones in the class to show themhow the sound changes when the key is short (higher sound) and when the key is long (lower sound). They can eventually explain the sound is lower because the instrument is bigger or longer. If you have tone bells that are individual tones, then eight students can play a scale with the song while the class handsigns the solfege.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_lw2dvsMgfohttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-y-Dm4Pxbw

Rhythm InstrumentsUse rhythm instruments while singing to music in a circle or listening to French musicLe bonhomme-gigueur (Limberjack)-Attach the bonhomme with the stick and sit on the flat wooden board. Place the boots of the bonhomme on the flat board which is between your legs. Tap the man on the flat stick on the steady beat of the song that you are singing and teach the students that the flat board is like a diving board. Teach the students to brush the board which their dominant thumb as if they are brushing dirt off their knee.

How to Play Various Instruments Correctly

Rhythm instruments should be introduced by the sound qualities or timbres. Children should be given the opportunity to explore the variety of sounds produced by the different substances, such as wood, skin and metal and show them the methods of producing the sound which are by shaking, striking, blowing, or rubbing that can alter its character. After the song is finished, the instruments need to be placed gently back onto the carpet/floor and after the class is over, they need to be returned by the wood family first, then the metals next, etc. in an organized fashion.

Page 65: Music, Songs and Singing Games in the Early Years Classroom Betty Lee-Daigle betty.lee-daigle@publicboard.cabetty.lee-daigle@publicboard.ca Greater Essex

Les Instruments

Once each group of instruments are introduced separately first, I teach how each instrument is played properly. I ask them to choose one of the instruments. They must say “Madame, (est-ce que) je peux jouer avec un instrument, s’il vous plait?”. The student then takes the instrument and places the instrument in front of them in a circle without touching it. Tell them the instrument. Warn them that you will take it away if they touch the instrument but give individual children a warning. This is hard to do even so with adults!!! Only when the teacher tells the students to pick it up, they are allowed to play the instrument once a song is sung. I check to see if they are holding and striking the instrument properly. When the song is finished, they place the instrument gently back onto the ground or carpet in front of them. They are not toys. You are trying to teach them to play as an orchestra with the teacher as the conductor. It is your discretion if you need to take away their instrument if they do not stop playing when the song is over. I tell them that the conductor begins and ends the performance and the orchestra stops together just like they do in class. Then I allow one student to choose the song they want to sing.

InstrumentsMETALTRIANGLE-have the students feel the triangle while the teacher taps the triangle by the knob-discuss how sound is made by vibrations. Triangles are tapped in the middle of the bottom bar using the metal stick. I show them how the sound deadens or rings when you hold the triangle directly and when you hold the knob.LES GRELOTS-BELLS -Shake the bells on the beat against the other hand or in the air.LE TINTEUR-JINGLE TAPS-Hold the handle and hit the wooden part on the palm of the other hand so that the jingle taps sound like a tambourine.LES CYMBALES-CYMBALS-Hold onto the knobs and hit them together.

WOODBATONNETS RYTHMIQUE-Rhythm Sticks-Hit sticks in the shape of an “X” and only the top stick moves up and down on the beat. Students grasp the sticks in fists, not with a straightened finger on the stick.WOODBLOCK-LES BLOCKS SONORES-Hold on the knobs and hit the blocks together. You can also rub them but it does not make a loud sound.LES CASTAGNETTES-CASTANETS-Place fingers in the string and thumb at the bottom.TONE BLOCK-LES BLOCS DE BOIS-place fingers around the bottom of the woodblock and tap with the mallet with the hand that they write with on paper.

Page 67: Music, Songs and Singing Games in the Early Years Classroom Betty Lee-Daigle betty.lee-daigle@publicboard.cabetty.lee-daigle@publicboard.ca Greater Essex

LES BLOCKS SABLÉS-SANDBLOCKS- Same as the woodblocks but you can also rub them to hear the sandpaper rub together.

SKINTAMBOURINE-TAMBOURIN-Place their thumb in the hole in the side of the tambourine with the hand that they do not write with and grip the instrument with their fist. The tambourine in horizontal. Tap the skin with the fingers flat and held together so the jingle discs sound.LE TAMBOUR-HAND DRUM-Same as the tambourine but there are no jingles on the side like there are on a tambourine.How to Teach Children to Use the Rhythm Instruments

In a circle, I teach the students how to hold each instrument properly and respectfully. Before a song begins, they pick up their instrument at the same time and wait to play until the teacher(conductor) begins. The conductor counts them in with the conductor baton saying “Un, deux, trois, quatre”. After the students singing the song is finished, they place the instruments gently In front of them on the floor/carpet.

Voice CareAlways drink water or have a flask of water to replenish yourself.Once the children know a song, stop singing the songs with them and only give them a starting pitch and help at the beginning of the verses or lines and then stop completely once they know it well.Never sing when you have a sore throat and do not whisper. Use a recorder, xylophone, tuning fork or pitch pipe to start the children if you have no voice. You can mouth the words instead.
