Try to sing the melody of Bow Belinda. Then sing the chord roots. Do you have someone at home that you could teach this to? You sing one part, they sing the other, and then switch! Did it work? Once you sing the two parts, try the dance and see how much you can do.
Here is a song you are very familiar with. In music class, we played a game where we picked 4 sandwich items from Ms. Rothfeld's "lunch," chose an order for our sandwich, and then everyone would keep the macrobeat in that order while we sang the song. Some beats were be harder than others. Try it at home. Choose any 4 sandwich items (you can pick one more than once) organize it the way you want to keep the beat and then try it while you sing a song. Let me know what you picked in the comments section! Was it hard? You can even make up your own!
Here is a Music BINGO game created by my friend Jennifer Bailey, another music teacher in Michigan. See how many of these things you can do while at home. Hint: Some of these items can be found on the Videos page right here on Ms. Rothfeld's music website.
