Learners will be informally assessed on demonstrating steady beat.Class Experience
This class will be an interactive exploration of beat. Learners will show the beat with body percussion and optional instruments. After introductions, learners will pat the beat with a simple rhyme, teaching that the beat is steady. Then a game of “Beat Freeze” where learners show the beat to different musical selections and freeze when the music stops. Next, we will identify the beat within our bodies - our heart beat. We will explore the beat using learner suggested rhymes or songs. Finally, learners will demonstrate the beat while listening to a musical picture book.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Texas Teaching Certificate in Music/Theater/Arts
Hello! My name is Mrs. McArthur and I teach MUSIC! I am a Texas certified all-level music teacher with 29 years of teaching experience, 26 years in public schools and 3 years online and homeschool experience. I have taught preschool through eighth grade General Music and Choir classes. I received a Bachelor's Degree in Music Education with an emphasis in vocal music from Oklahoma Baptist University.
I believe that every learner can make music! Learners need a variety of experiences to learn music skills, including visual, aural and kinesthetic. Given sequential steps, students can achieve well beyond the expectations. When creativity is modeled, learners discover that making mistakes improves music. Learners need opportunities to be creative with choices so they can create on their own terms and interests. By making connections to science, social studies, math and beyond, students learn that subjects don’t exist in isolation. Music is the universal language and learners deserve a chance to explore the world through a musical lens!Reviews
