Less than $5 Kindergarten Music Composition Songs (by date, oldest first)

A great way to work on expressive movement with your kids is through HAPPY FEET!

In this lesson, students will hear a 4 minute and 32 second compilation of classical music, Edvard Grieg, John Philip Sousa, Dmitri Shostakovich, and more! Each piece will be played for a segment of time and while being played students will mimic the tempo by showing expressive body movement

• If students hear FAST music, they run as fast as you can in place!
• If students hear SLOW music, try a slo-mo movement in place!
• If students hear MODERATE speed, try marching in place

Of course, as the music teacher you can tailor this however you like, but with social distancing in our classroom at this juncture, the motions are preferable the way they are built :)

In between each segment there may be a slight pause which students will "freeze" in time. Keep the kids' attention by saying if they moving during the silence, they're OUT! ;)

Have a great time and perform this however you wish!

Play and compose using this Halloween classic from Doreen Cronin! Using the words "crunch", "creak", "tap" and "quack" in the story, have students play a variety of instruments (hand-held percussion) along with the verbs while you read! Then print, cut out, and laminate the composition cards and have the students compose their own musical soundscapes!
