Moving to IRISH Music With Locomotor and Non-locomotor Movement for Elementary Music
21Alternating locomotor and non-locomotor movements give elementary music students the chance to experience this Irish jig (Kesh Jig) in a fun way. Great all year long but especially for St. Patrick's Day in March. Lesson ideas:
🍀 Keeping a steady beat
🍀 Movement changes at phrases/sections to help students begin to sense musical form.
🍀 A great way to discuss micro and macro beats with skipping. Skipping to the macro beat and micro beat feel very different.
🍀 Creative movement. i.e. stomping can be all on one foot, or patterns using right and left. Jumping can be facing one direction, turning, or again with micro or macro beat.
