1st of October 2015 - 2nd TPR music lesson

Well today the class had a Maths test and it took them two whole lessons to get through it.
So we just had a quick music session... We sang though our songs and finished the movements to "viva la vida". It's so much fun and I really think the kids are enjoying it a lot! And it's cool to see how well they know those words and how well they act them out.

We sang it along the CD player with -10% speed and it's quite fast but they could handle it. Then we sang it again in the regular speed and this was kind of hectic (for me too I have to admit ;-))

Especially the "pillars of sand" are fantastic. For pillars they came up with making the pillars out of their lower arms in front of them, so elbows around breast height and fists at eye level and for the sand they kind of move their fingers like they were typing on a keyboard. and going down - like you would show someone that it rains or snows. And it's funny how this started changing the sound of the song too. Now they sing pillars really powerful and the sand real soft. It's amazing. I hope I can get some parents to agree filming them and putting it on the Internet...
