EXPERIENCING AND FACILITATING MUSIC CONCEPTS THROUGH MOVEMENT , SONG , AND GAMES.

Learners listen to music a lot in order to pick up on different components of it . They can use locomotor or non-locomotor actions to demonstrate the music notion they identified .They can , for example show the melodic contour in pitch using their hands , walking to the beat and clapping to the rhythm , as well as employing body percussion to clap or stomp their feet , can help them understand the difference between meter and rhythm.
