• Note values inc clapping practice https://youtu.be/_sJu6fiSyb8
• Introduce taa, ta-te, taa-aa, and ta-aa-aa-aa as rythmic 'names' to use to practice/internalise notation of note duration ie rhythm in music. " TheFrench musician and teacher, Émile-Joseph Chevé (1804-1864) was one of thefirst to suggest that rhythm could be taught using words chosen to mimic verbally rhythmic patterns commonly found in European music. In fact, systems like this had been in practical use for hundreds, if not thousands of years in the many musical cultures of India, where it is called bol, in Japan, where it is called kuchi shoga and in Africa. Zoltan Kodály (1882-1967) incorporated the Galin-Paris-Chevé system of rhythm syllables into his own music teaching method and it is in this form that we find its widest use in Europe today." from http://www.dolmetsch.com/musictheory20.htm
  • next download PDF of musical note cards, print out and practice saying/clapping a random rythym each day - need to make short video on French rhythm solfa system of Cheve, Gallin and Paris (ta, ta-te etc)?
  • rationale for singing/clapping is to inernalise the music: "Singing gives direct access to music without the technical difficulties of an instrument. Singing and active participation is therefore the fastest way to learn and internalise music and to develop musicianship skills. It is also the proof of accurate internalisation of the rhythm and melody." from http://www.britishkodalyacademy.org/kodaly_approach.htm
