Pitch Activity Book - Buster Buster 2 Notes
Music Resource Description
The "Buster Buster" activity book introduces an engaging 2-note song designed to help children develop their pitch-matching skills while having fun. The song features a catchy rhyme about Buster, with each line accompanied by simple, playful actions. For instance, as they sing "Buster, Buster climb a tree," children are encouraged to mimic climbing by stacking one fist on top of the other, as if ascending four branches. This imaginative approach not only makes the learning process enjoyable but also aids in memorising the lyrics through physical movement.
The song continues with similar actions for each line, such as slapping the knee, blowing kisses, and pointing a finger, each repeated four times to match the rhythm of the song. These activities are designed to be fun and interactive, allowing children to internalise the words while performing the actions. The song can be further enhanced by having two adults lead the children in a canon, where one group starts the song and the next group follows, creating a round of harmonious echoes. This playful method of learning through music and action is an excellent way for children to practice pitch-matching and develop their musical abilities.
