Instrumental Reception Notations - Goodbye everyone instrumental

The "Goodbye everyone" instrumental provides a playful and engaging way for children to participate in a musical activity that combines both movement and rhythm. The notation guides the participants through a series of actions to the beat of the music. As the lyrics suggest, children are encouraged to wiggle various parts of their bodies in time with the tune. They start by wiggling their fingers, followed by their toes—which they are reminded to try and wiggle inside their shoes—then their shoulders, and finally their noses, all while following the rhythm indicated by the musical notations.

The activity culminates with a lively display of wiggling and waving arms all over the place as the children act out the line "when no more wiggles are left in me." This is contrasted with a moment of stillness, as they sit motionless with a finger to their lips for the line "then I'm as still as still can be." This chant can be adapted to suit different settings or to regulate the energy levels of the group. It can be performed loudly with actions, whispered with actions for a quieter version, or even thought with actions, allowing children to engage their imaginations while still participating physically. This versatility makes it an excellent tool for educators to incorporate into their musical activities.
