FIRST TERM

UNIT 1 . THE HEARTBEAT
1.

PRESENTATION.

We are going to start the school year talking about the beat. Children will learn that music has a beat that
always remains steady and you have to keep in time. The beat or pulse is the base of music. Children will
understand it by feeling their heartbeat and by showing their understanding doing physical actions.
