This song is a simple pentatonic tune that is quite slow so we are hoping that some children may attempt to play one or more phrases.  They may be able to imitate “I feel” on EG but there is no need to force this outcome.  Experience of the chime bar set will suffice for now.

Regular contact with the set of 8 chime bars will eventually develop a consciousness of pitch differences and the corresponding colours, names numerals and sizes.  We are content with small gains in perception over time and do not expect that children will accurately play the song.  We are also developing the audience convention of quietly listening to another person.

• A melody and harmony instrument activity using chime bars
• Suggestions for how to do the activity
• Song lyrics, including a wall chart for display
• A simple score with chords
• The musical concepts featured
• Language and speech development opportunities
• A backing track to support your voice singing “live”
• A matching track with a vocal added to assist you in learning how to sing the song live with your children.
