Music of the Big Note
1.“…like a big bumblebee.”
2. “…how fast they can play.”
Movement: Can you help conduct with some fast beats of two? Make a baton with your finger and wait for the cue.
3. “…the sound filled the room.”
4. “…big notes could march like a bear!”
Movement: Like big marching bears, let’s all march along and see if you hear the big notes in this song.
5. “…and tiptoed inside.”
Movement: Can you step in place and be quick as you go? Be quiet like Teddy and walk on tiptoes.
6. “…thunderous melody filled Teddy’s ears.”
7. “…swish-swaying like trees in the wind.”
Movement: Put your arms overhead, flutter fingers like leaves be gentle and sway back and forth like the trees.
8. “…while his hands tapped along.”
Movement: When the music makes hops start to jump up and down like frogs in a pond that are leaping around.
9. “…melody fluttered like small butterflies.”
Movement: Let’s wiggle our fingers. Make small butterflies. As the silver flute plays, fly them up to the sky.
10. “…charged ahead like a runaway train!”
Movement: Like a train, move your arms then go faster and faster. Speed up very slowly to be a train master.
11. “…hum a low lion’s purr.”
12. “…Now I’m really in trouble.”
13. “…BRAVO! HIP-HOORAY!”
14. Full Performance!
