In Let’s Play Music, students move beyond keeping a steady beat to practicing subdivisions—elephant steps, lion walks, monkey chatter, and cicada chirps! Through playful chants, movement, and rhythm games, children learn to feel and divide the beat accurately. These fun activities build rhythmic confidence and prepare them for the trickier rhythms they’ll encounter as musicians.

Is a C-E-G chord always red? Not quite! In Let’s Play Music, students discover that chords can change roles—red, blue, or yellow—depending on where DO is. Just like a person can be a mother, daughter, or granddaughter in different stories, chords play different roles in music. Learning this “magic of key change” helps students understand harmony and how songs move, travel, and return home.
