Becoming a Triple Threat

Becoming a Triple Threat
Welcome to Episode 21 of the Doremi Teach podcast.Today we're going to chat about aural skills and how you can help your students, and yourself, become a triple threat.My name is Helen Russell from Doremi Connect and I’m going to help you achieve your goals using the Kodály approach. So if you’re interested in teaching musical skills and literacy through singing then this is the place for you. A few years ago I was called up by the mum of a desperate Grade 8 cellist. Their exam was in a few weeks and their teacher hadn’t covered the aural element AT ALL.Could I help?Sadly, I was fully booked and the idea of missing family-time to cram some poor kid for Grade 8 was not appealing. So I pointed them to some books and online resources and wished them well.All the time cursing their teacher in my thinking voice.It broke my heart.I wish I could tell you that this was an isolated incident but it was not. But it was probably the worst.I have helped students with their aural when given more time. But their teachers are seriously missing a trick.Aural skills are precious and essential.Far more valuable than the few marks in an instrumental exam.And they deserve more attention too!When you think about learning an instrument, it feels like learners are split into three types.#1 Playing by RoteWhenever I have a beginner student who’s older than 5 or 6 they can usually play something already. And it’s almost always taught by their cousin.I ponder on this cousin link a lot and have some theories - but I’ll save those for another time.Rote teaching is great. Even in a formal lesson we can teach patterns and techniques by rote.But with YouTube and other online apps, learning purely by rote is increasingly common.#2 Playing by EarGrowing up I was sooo jealous of those people who could play by ear.Possibly because they were accessing cool pop music in a way that was off limits for me and my “proper” piano lessons.They were so cool - sigh!I was mystified and thought it would always be out of my reach. Spoiler: It’s not!#3 Classically TrainedWe’re always hearing that some pop star or other was “classically trained”. Really that just means they had a piano teacher, some piano books, diligently practised their scales and possibly did some grade exams.This was me. Apart from the diligently practising their scales bit! Ahem!Learning to read from the score but also becoming beholden to it. Unable to play without.Apart from when my cousin taught me Tomorrow from Annie by rote - hang on - full circle!!The Triple ThreatImagine if you could do ALL THREE of these things?! You’d be, what’s known in showbiz, a TRIPLE THREAT!And who doesn’t want that - for their students and for themselves!And the secret? Aural skills.Which of the three types of learners do you most associate with? I’ll be fascinated to see if there’s a pattern?So what do we know?#1 Aural skills are essential, desirable and hugely valuable. They deserve more than a "exam prep" after-thought.#2 We can teach our students to become a triple threat by combining the three types of teaching and learning.#2b It’s not too late to get that for ourselves too!Happy BirthdayHave you had a student try and pick out Happy Birthday on their instrument?It’s actually really hard!It’s especially frustrating when they don’t have pitch awareness. Jabbing randomly at the keys seeking that elusive next note. When the pitch goes higher they still test notes that are lower.Sure it’s hard to nail the EXACT interval, but they are so much more successful when they slow down, think about the direction and then move the right...

It’s just marching around the room singing.However before you start, remember small children will march faster than adults. We want the march to match the beat so you’ll need to sing faster than you would on your own.A top tip if you’re not sure how fast to sing is to ask a student to march first, then join in with their tempo.I also like using untuned percussion to mark the beat aurally while you all march and sing.This is not a lullaby, so sing loudly forte but remind the children that doesn’t mean shouting!Make sure you let us know what you think of the episode and do share it with your colleagues if you’ve found it helpfulFor more free resources and webinars on teaching music through singing make sure you visit doremiconnect.co.uk and sign up to our daily emails.I hope you have a lovely week, filled with music and singing.You’ve been listening to the Doremi Teach podcast with Helen Russell from Doremi Connect.

Welcome to Episode 19 of the Doremi Teach podcast. Today I'm going to teach you a song that's useful for experiencing soft singing, piano, since it's a lullaby.Good NightGood night, sleep tightFriends will come tomorrow nightHello there and welcome to the Doremi Teach podcast. If you’re interested in teaching musical skills and literacy through singing then this is the place for you. My name is Helen Russell from Doremi Connect and I’m going to help you achieve your goals using the Kodály approach.Benefits of Good NightThis song is really useful for experiencing soft singing, piano since it’s a lullabyThe rhythm is simple, ta and titi or crotchets and quavers, so it’s a great song for working on rhythm laterThe toneset is mi–so with a range of a Minor 3rd so ideal for little voices and for reluctant teachersIts so-mi motif is the easiest for beginner singers to pitch accurately because it is used naturally in playgrounds all over the world, ner-ner ner-nerIt’s ideal for teaching the piano as we can play on any two black keys a skip apartIt’s easy to transfer to tuned percussion – just find a minor third like D with F, E with G, A with C or B with DLater iterations of the game involve rocking the baby to experience the beat kinaestheticallyThe GameAll the students lie on the floor for a pretend sleep while the teacher softly sings the song.After each repetition, say “It’s morning, wake up!” and the students must stand up and have a stretch. Then “Bedtime, back to sleep” and they lie down while you sing again. They find this very amusing!In the future, to practise beat, you can rock the baby to the beat. No baby wants to be rocked to the rhythm if they are supposed to be going to sleep!Later, while rocking, you could clap the rhythm. For some students this is an easier microstep towards performing beat and rhythm simultaneously.When you sing, make sure you sing softly, piano, so you don’t wake the baby. Remember that soft singing is not the same as whispering.Make sure you let us know what you think of the episode and do share it with your colleagues if you’ve found it helpfulFor more free resources and webinars on teaching music through singing make sure you visit doremiconnect.co.uk and sign up to our daily emails.I hope you have a lovely week, filled with music and singing.You’ve been listening to the Doremi Teach podcast with Helen Russell from Doremi Connect.

Then rock to the beat just like a seesaw.Our seesaw is very musical. It only rocks when we sing. Spark their imagination by asking who they would like to put on the seesaw. Sometimes they choose their friends, siblings, sometimes cartoon characters or toys.The trick with this game is to freeze at the end of the song. The beat stops, the seesaw stops and the students must hold their position until we sing again.As an adult, it doesn’t sound very interesting, but the students love it and will play over and over!Make sure you let us know what you think of the episode and do share it with your colleagues if you’ve found it helpfulFor more free resources and webinars on teaching music through singing make sure you visit doremiconnect.co.uk and sign up to our daily emails.I hope you have a lovely week, filled with music and singing.You’ve been listening to the Doremi Teach podcast with Helen Russell from Doremi Connect.

It’s not the best choice for presenting rhythm because the longer words are spread across two beats but it’s great for practising.They learn a new word turpentine but make sure they know NOT to put it in their hair!The GameUse a different pulse or beat action for each phrase“Queen Queen Caroline” – mime putting on a crown four times“Washed her hair in turpentine” – mime shampooing your hair“Turpentine made it shine” – stroke your hair four times“Queen Queen Caroline” – mime putting a crown on four timesMake sure you let us know what you think of the episode and do share it with your colleagues if you’ve found it helpfulFor more free resources and webinars on teaching music through singing make sure you visit doremiconnect.co.uk and sign up to our daily emails.I hope you have a lovely week, filled with music and singing.You’ve been listening to the Doremi Teach podcast with Helen Russell from Doremi Connect.

Then sing again as a big clock, louder. You can explore the size-dynamic connection with tiny clock and massive clock.

Welcome to Episode 15 of the Doremi Teach podcast. Today I'm going to teach you a song that's perfect for preparing pitch and introducing part work.CuckooCuckoo, where are you?Here I am, I see you!Hello there and welcome to the Doremi Teach podcast. If you’re interested in teaching musical skills and literacy through singing then this is the place for you. My name is Helen Russell from Doremi Connect and I’m going to help you achieve your goals using the Kodály approach.Benefits of CuckooThis song is used to prepare pitch and introduce part work with Question and AnswerThe toneset is mi-so with a range of a Minor 3rd so ideal for little voices and for nervous teachersIt uses the so-mi motif, which is the easiest for beginner singers to pitch accurately because it is used naturally in playgrounds all over the world, ner-ner ner-nerIt’s ideal for teaching the piano as we can play on any two black keys a skip apartIt’s easy to transfer to tuned percussion – just find a minor third like D with F, E with G, A with C or B with DThe game involves solo singingThe rhythm is very simple, just using ta and titi or crotchets and quavers so this will reappear throughout the curriculum as we prepare and present rhythmThe GameThere are two characters in this song. The cuckoo, who is hiding, and someone looking for the cuckoo.Once the song is known well you can choose two students to sing the two parts.One is the guesser, who sings the question and is looking for the cuckoo. They must keep their eyes closed.The other is chosen secretly, and is the cuckoo. They will sing the solo.The guesser sings the opening question, either as a solo or with the class, and then has to identify the cuckoo just from the sound, and direction, of their voice.I like to use a bird finger puppet to select the cuckoo. They then hold it behind their backs. This way it’s really clear who the cuckoo is, and the other students must stay quiet.Top tip: the answer phrase for this song has a tricky turn of phrase, so make sure the students get plenty of opportunities to listen to it before you ask them to sing. I do this by letting them sing the question while I sing the answer and hide the cuckoo puppet.Make sure you let us know what you think of the episode and do share it with your colleagues if you’ve found it helpfulFor more free resources and webinars on teaching music through singing make sure you visit doremiconnect.co.uk and sign up to our daily emails.I hope you have a lovely week, filled with music and singing.You’ve been listening to the Doremi Teach podcast with Helen Russell from Doremi Connect.

Welcome to Episode 14 of the Doremi Teach podcast. Today I'm going to teach you a song that's great for performing and listening to a steady beat using a hand drum.Listen ListenListen, listen, here I comeHow many beats upon my drum?Benefits of Listen ListenThis song is used to prepare pulse with a drum or other untuned percussionThe toneset is do-re-mi-so with a range of a Perfect 5th so good for little voices and for nervous teachersIt starts with the so-mi motif, which is easy for beginner singers to pitch accuratelyIt also contains so-mi-re-do so can be used later on when practising mi-re-do motifsThe rhythm is mostly simple but includes ti-tika, which is a more advanced rhythm so I wouldn’t use this for rhythm work initiallyThe fun game involves counting and taking turns with an untuned percussion instrumentThe GameThis is a very simple game. You sing the song, and then tap a steady beat on hand drum or other untuned percussion instrument.The students must count how many beats you played on your drum.It’s tempting to tap throughout the song, but it’s better to wait until the end so it’s clear how many beats they are expected to count.Start with four beats and then vary, but don’t do too many or they will lose countYou can give the drum to a student to tap – remember the beat is steady and even.Alternative Game:Listen, listen, here I comeSomeone special gets the drumThe game for this involves one student tapping the drum throughout the song, then choosing another special person to take a turn.You could pass the drum around the circle while you sing again, and that would select your next drummer.Make sure you let us know what you think of the episode and do share it with your colleagues if you’ve found it helpfulFor more free resources and webinars on teaching music through singing make sure you visit doremiconnect.co.uk and sign up to our daily emails.I hope you have a lovely week, filled with music and singing.You’ve been listening to the Doremi Teach podcast with Helen Russell from Doremi Connect.

If you’re interested in teaching musical skills and literacy through singing then this is the place for you. My name is Helen Russell from Doremi Connect and I’m going to help you achieve your goals using the Kodály approach.Benefits of Copy CatThis song is used to prepare pulse or rhythm, and taking turnsThe toneset is mi-so-la with a range of a Perfect 4th so ideal for little voices and for nervous teachersIt uses the so-mi-la-so-mi motif, which is easy for beginner singers to pitch accurately because it is used naturally in playgrounds all over the world, ner-ner-na-ner-nerThe rhythm is very simple, just using ta and titi or crotchets and quavers so this will reappear throughout the curriculum as we prepare and present rhythmThe game involves solo singing and improvising actionsIt’s great to get your students moving around and the actions can be as energetic as you wantI also include this in my piano curriculumThe GameThe game for this varies as the curriculum progressesLevel 1: A simple copy cat gameThe teacher sings the song while doing a pulse action, and the students copy.It’s not so simple though, because the students must only sing and do the action when it’s their turn. When the teacher is singing the students must stand still and silent.This is actually way harder than you’d think, and is a great way to practise patience and turn taking.An extension to this is to get the students to choose the pulse action. They can either lead the game by singing the solo, or “gift” their idea to the teacher or a friend.Remember to make your pulse actions large so the students don’t accidentally slip onto the rhythm.Level 2: Simon SaysOnce you have completed Doremi Teach: Music module RedB and have presented the concept of steady beat you can expand on the game.The students ONLY copy if your actions show the steady beat. If they show something else (use the rhythm of the song but don’t tell them that!) then they must stand still and no sing.Level 3: Rhythm ActionsOnce you’ve presented the concept of rhythm, you can change the rules so they ONLY copy if your actions show the rhythm.Make sure you let us know what you think of the episode and do share it with your colleagues if you’ve found it helpfulFor more free resources and webinars on teaching music through singing make sure you visit doremiconnect.co.uk and sign up to our daily emails.I hope you have a lovely week, filled with music and singing.You’ve been listening to the Doremi Teach podcast with Helen Russell from Doremi Connect.

If you’re interested in teaching musical skills and literacy through singing then this is the place for you. My name is Helen Russell from Doremi Connect and I’m going to help you achieve your goals using the Kodály approach.Benefits of LemonadeThis song is used to prepare pitch and introduce part work with Question and AnswerThe toneset is mi-so with a range of a Minor 3rd so ideal for little voices and for nervous teachersIt uses the so-mi motif, which is the easiest for beginner singers to pitch accurately because it is used naturally in playgrounds all over the world, ner-ner ner-nerIt’s easy to transfer to tuned percussion – just find a minor third like D with F, E with G, A with C or B with DThe rhythm is very simple, just using ta and titi or crotchets and quavers, so again, easy to singThe game involves solo singingThe GameThere are two parts to this song. The class and the soloist, or the lemonade seller.Once the song is known well you can choose a student to be the soloistThe students stand in a circle, with the soloist in the middle. At the end, the students hold out their cupped hands and the soloist chooses one student and “pours” the lemonade into their cup.This student is now the new soloist and they swap places.This song is a challenge for the soloist as they must sing first rather than respond, which is more usual. You can sing “Off you go” on the starting pitch to help the soloist get started if they are reluctant.Watch out for the soloists changing the starting pitch of the song. The class should match pitch with the soloist.To create variety and develop improvisational skills, the students can change the name of the location and the type of drink. But they need to make sure their new choice fits the song so as a stepping stone to complete improvisation you can discuss some choices they could make that would fit. For example cherryade and orangeade will both work. Coca cola is popular but doesn’t rhyme, so you can decide if that matters and whether it’s a good talking point.Make sure you let us know what you think of the episode and do share it with your colleagues if you’ve found it helpfulFor more free resources and webinars on teaching music through singing make sure you visit doremiconnect.co.uk and sign up to our daily emails.I hope you have a lovely week, filled with music and singing.You’ve been listening to the Doremi Teach podcast with Helen Russell from Doremi Connect.
