Let's change an ordinary song into our own silly creation! As a group, we will compose a unique song that your student helped to create. This activity can be a great way to allow learners to think creatively, feel comfortable being silly, and enjoy making music with others.
To begin class each week, we will learn the melody and basic structure of a well-known, kid-friendly song.  Students will discuss the definition of melody and lyrics, and identify how the lyrics of this song can be changed to make it into something completely different. We will use this knowledge to make new lyrics to the song by completing a mad-libs style activity.
Students will work together to create new lyrics by taking turns sharing their silly words. My teaching style is very interactive! Each student will have the opportunity to provide individual input. Students will practice the musical skills of singing, keeping a steady beat, and composing.
Learners are always encouraged to suggest songs to be used in future classes!
