Pitch Reception Notations - See saw

The song "See-saw" is a delightful musical piece that offers a variety of educational activities to engage children in learning about pitch, rhythm, and movement. The notation for "See-saw" includes a series of quavers and crotchets, which correspond to the rhythmic pattern of the lyrics "See-saw, up and down, in the sky and on the ground." The song is designed to teach children the musical concepts of high and low pitches, as well as the fundamental principles of rhythm and pulse through a simple and catchy melody.

There are 12 suggested activities to accompany "See-saw," as outlined on the accompanying DVD. These range from singing the song, tapping the pulse, and clapping the rhythm, to more interactive exercises like performing with body actions, using a hoop, and playing the melody on tuned instruments. For example, children can tap their shoulders for the note G (So) and their knees for the note E (Mi), or sit around a hoop and move it up and down to represent the high and low notes. These activities are designed not only to make the learning process fun but also to deepen the children's understanding of musical concepts through kinesthetic learning. While the DVD captures these 12 activities, the potential for further creative exploration with "See-saw" is vast, offering an enriching experience for young learners in music education.
