n/a Dalcroze color/rhythm canon -
- T has sts repeat dalcroze color rhythm patterns
(black = ta, purple = titi, white = rest, blue = ta-o,
lemon yellow = tikatika)
- T gives non verbal cue to get sts in a circle and sit
down
- T starts interrupted canon with sts
- T will praise sts doing the hand motions as well as
saying the colors
- T will ask if any st wants to lead the interrupted
canon
- T will lead uninterrupted canon (if students are
successful at interrupted canon) - cueing sts to start
on beat four
- After a few rounds of the uninterrupted canon, T
will write colors on the board and have sts identify
the stick notation syllables that go with each color

has sts give a “secret answer” where they hold up
numbers behind their other hand 1-5 depending on
what rhythm they think it is

mantis for tikatika, fly, bee or ant for ta,
beetle, stink bug, or cricket for titi
- make sure sts know that each bug name is
one beat!

the bug names

notation that goes with each bug name
