Young Child 4

Week 10:

Today’s class was loaded with opportunities to learn and to relate new information to past learning! The ti-ti
symbol (two eighth notes) can be divided into individual eighth notes! Ask your child to show you how!

We are also working on solidifying in our bodies and ears a syncopated rhythmic pattern. Syncopation is a rhythm in which a beat not normally emphasized receives emphasis. By speaking the word “syn-CO-pa-TA-ta” and stretching out the syllables “CO” and the first “TA,” it is possible to feel a syncopated rhythm.
