Christine Masters | How do you teach the fundamentals of music?
| Today I will share how I provide children with an experience of beat, rhythm, listening skills, singing skills and form and then discuss how these fundamentals can be further developed in future lessons. I will demonstrate how these examples form a part of a lesson plan and provide you with a framework for your lesson plans. Vision from the DVD “music Makes Me Move” will illustrate how children respond to these activities.
