Overview

In this video, Melody and Victoria introduce the note C! Victoria will sing the note first, and then the class will echo it back. It’s a great way to warm up voices and start learning pitch.

This simple call-and-response helps children match pitch and build confidence in singing.

Music Tip: Use hand signs or gestures to help children “see” the pitch as they sing.

Teacher Tip: Encourage gentle, relaxed singing – remind children they don’t need to be loud, just clear and focused!
