Anything done with rhythm will be successful.
Steady beat is the glue that holds music together.

The melody may be the line of music,
but its soul is in its pulse.
The adult resting heart rate is about 60 beats per minute.

Chant Rap
Before there was rap, there was chant.
Chant: Speech patterns set to a steady beat.
Repeated speech patterns are called ostinato and provide an underpinning of texture to the text.
16
Rhyme: Speaking in rhythm.
Rap: Stylistic speaking in rhythm to a steady beat.

CUE SHEET FOR RHYTHMIC NOTATION
17
In music, speech rhythm translates into note values.
Generally, duration is a function of vowels and articulation is a function of consonances.

What we sing is a melody.

Teachers have been using songs to help teach subject matter for years.

This presentation has been less about advocacy for music in the schools and more about the accessibility of music in your teaching world.
Music is an expression within each of us. It’s ability to connect with various aspects of our lives has no boundary.
Get kids singing as early as possible and music will be their friend for the rest of their lives.
