Instrumental Year 5 Notations - I let her go go instrumental

For Year 5 students, an engaging music lesson plan has been developed around the song "I Let Her Go-Go," which includes both instrumental and non-instrumental activities. The non-instrumental part of the lesson involves a circle game that encourages children to interact with each other through a series of hand claps and movements. To prepare for the game, children practice changing partners by shaking hands and walking past each other, ensuring they are comfortable with the process. The game's sequence includes clapping their partner's hands on the lyric "go go," clapping their own hands, exchanging places while holding hands, and finally jumping to face a new partner, all timed to the rhythm of the song.

Instrumental activities are also incorporated to enrich the musical experience. Initially, children sing the song and clap only on the word "GO." As the lesson progresses, they introduce instruments, playing them on the "GO" and later dividing the group to play on different parts of the lyrics. To add a layer of complexity, 'thinking voices' are used, where children sing or play instruments in their heads instead of out loud, fostering internal rhythm and musical understanding. These activities culminate in a dynamic session where instruments are played on "GO," and the floor is tapped for the remaining words, all while using 'thinking voices' to maintain the beat internally.
