Music and Movement
Music is made of sounds put together in a pleasing way. We can make music by singing, clapping, drumming, or playing instruments. Movement means using our body to dance, sway, or act out a story.
Example
Let's Make Music!
Clap your hands to keep a steady beat. Sing a song you know, like 'Shosholoza'. Tap a rhythm on your desk with your pencil. Stand up and sway side to side like a tree in the wind.
Note
Remember
Music is part of every culture in South Africa. Listening to music can make you feel happy, calm, or excited. Moving your body to music is great exercise and great fun!
