We have been in school now for four weeks. I have met all students four times for 40-minutes once a week. In that time we have really done a lot, musically speaking...
Ask any student of mine "What is the purpose of beat?" and they will tell you in a variety of ways that "It is so important, Ms. Mutz asks us about it in every class!" We need to be able to walk it, talk it, sing it, dance it, and we can play instruments, too. The beat helps to hold everything together in music. The truth is, not every single song will have an identifiable beat, but most of the music we will do in class will have a definite beat.
