2nd graders continue their study of music literacy by working on decoding rhythms in duple meter. They have moved on to decoding unfamiliar songs and rhymes - that is decoding the rhythm after only hearing the rhyme once. This is more of a challenge because they have not had the chance to internalize the rhyme. They need to decode on the spot.
Just in time for Halloween, students decoded the unfamiliar rhyme "Miss White." The silly lyrics are below:
Miss White had a fright
In the middle of the night.
Saw a ghost, eating toast,
Halfway up the lamp post.

Students decoded the rhyme line by line using our duple meter rhythm syllables. Now that they are able to decode even unfamiliar patterns that they hear, students are ready to see what these rhythms look like! We will begin that step soon!
