Reviewing material previously learned and working with new material access different areas of the brain. With this in mind, we make it a point to review favorite songs and singing games each and every week as well as work with novel material.
New this week were the terms staccato and legato, referring to the articulation or detached and sustained qualities of sound. Staccato refers to sounds that are separated and detached. The children found that the word staccato lends itself to this type of sound if you separate it as follows: stac-ca-to! Legato refers to sounds that are smoothly connected. Try saying legato as smoothly as possible.
